The mask is tight, and I'm choking on the words not said.  They can get as close as they want, but they'll never be near me.  Worlds apart, and that's fine with me.  Keep your damn hands to yourself.

Don't pay any mind to the empty light in my eyes.  I've got your number, and you've got one of mine.  From the very start, I knew how it would end.  I win everytime, and the points don't matter.

Don't try to push me, cuz I won't pretend to care.  Fast words on a slow night, and you won't keep up with me.  I show my teeth, and you show me yours.
So, you know how it goes. You got that smile you put on. The one you don't mean. Only for certain events or situations, of course. Like that piece of crap [INSERT PERSON HERE] who is always [INSERT DUMBASS THING THEY DO HERE]. Yeah, you feel me. You smile instead of doing the thing you want to, which is probably illegal and would only cause more trouble.

That's why you keep smiling.
