Clever (The Blackbird Session)

[Intro] Being clever's just my safety net [Verse 1] I hide behind my cadence I hide behind the wall I built so tall the weakness never spills I hide all my burdens I twist my words so well I'm breaking, but the lie is what I sell [Chorus] If I'm clever, you might never understand I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content Being clever's just my safety net [Verse 2] I tell you I feel better I tell you I can sleep I hope that it will bring a sense of peace But the nights are getting darker The day becomes so bleak Another day I'm conscious is another day I bleed [Chorus] If I'm clever, you might never understand I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head I feel my passing only benefits my friends When I know nothing I say matters in the end, I finally feel content Being clever's just my safety net [Verse 3] I'm out of ways to answer I'm out of metaphors I finally got so sick, there is no cure I'm out of ways to answer I'm out of metaphors I finally got so sick, there is no cure Oh, oh Oh, oh [Chorus] If I'm clever, you might never understand I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content So messed up and inconsistent in my head I feel my passing only benefits my friends When I know nothing I say matters in the end, I finally feel content Being clever's just my safety net
