No One Dies

Just keep it simple, that's all I really want

It's all I can handle, even it feels like a lot

But nobody raised me to be weak and so

I try not to let these complications get to me

Just keep it classy, that's all you ever hear

And it's good advice my dear

I've seen you embarrassing yourself a few too many times

It's undignified

And it's so easy to fall

Out of favor with yourself

And it's so easy to crawl

Right back in the end

Just keep your head down, it's best for everyone

It helps you to focus on what you need to get done

And nobody has to look each other in the eye

And we can all pretend and no one dies

Keep your composure, keep up appearances

And let yourself get lost in it

'Cause nobody wants to see the face behind the mask

With all that scar tissue and empty eyes of glass

And it's so easy to fall

Out of favor with yourself

And it's so easy to crawl

Right back in the end

It's comfortably familiar, this old faithful noise

Digging out my old favorite toys

But no one expects the things they love to grow a mold

Packed away inside damp boxes down below

It seems now all's repaired and everyone is pleased

And I try to shake the memory

But it still stings that you just couldn't give me the damn dignity

Of asking me not to leave
