Keep It Average

Keep it average

Keep it dumb dumb

They'll think I'm stupid

And be proud of my bare minimum

Yeah and let them think

There's dishes in my sink

Think that I'm a burnout who don't care about anything

Don't let them know you care, don't let them know you clean

And scrub the scum off the tub until the fake plastic lining stings and my hands are bleeding

Keep it average, and they won't depend on you

Keep it average

Don't use too much effort

'Cause then they'll expect it

Then you can't stop when it hurts

So let them think you're shit

That you don't understand

People talking in a room, but then when you come in

They get quiet, stare at you silent

It feels like tiny little knives inside my organs stabbing saying I deserve it

Keep it average, they hate you anyway

They're really fuckin' mean

And they tell me

The person that I am

I know that's not true

But does it matter what the fucking truth is?

I mean it

What's the meaning?

And does it matter?
