This Microphone

[Verse 1]

Selflessly hiding all emotions inside

Chilly and dry, New England style

Nobody's figured out my twelve fatal flaws

Who's keeping score? Who wins that war?

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I'm busting out, and I know everyone agrees

[Chorus]

Caring is carting bad ideas to the dump

And taking my time, taking my time

Hey, this microphone was turned on all along

[Acoustic Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

I tried returning all that stuff to the store

But then I bought more, then I bought more

I'm done explaining all these reckless displays

Hard to defend, I'm in a haze

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Old stories told

In brand-new clothes I bought today

[Chorus]

Kindness is killing off my unfinished dreams

And walking away, just walking away

Hey, this microphone was turned on all along

[Chorus]

Caring is carting bad ideas to the dump

And taking my time, taking my time

Hey, this microphone was turned on all along
