I joke and I kid and I laugh and I play

But could it be that they don't take it that way?

I'm paranoid about hurting people's feelings

But my nature is joking without meaning

I love you my friend, you are dear to me

But I'm as hurt as a hurt friend can be

That you don't know me well enough

To know to ignore all that kind of stuff

Maybe I should stop it

Take all my humor and drop it

Maybe I should be quiet 

So they don't buy it

Maybe I should stop talking 

Because my words mean nothing 

Maybe my voice is useless

I don't use it with purpose

So that's how I'll be

I'll hide with my heart in the corner, you see

I'll be just like the others and not say a word

Until someone asks me to talk, don't say it's absurd

You'd like it better that way I know you'd deny it

But again, those jokes that I play, you buy it

You all buy it in fact

"You're out of the band" was just an act

Just tell me I bully

Tell me straight up

I won't sit there all drooly 

I'll just shut myself up

I'll be like my mind

Close myself up and wait for a time

I might open up to someone, someday I bet

But for now, I'll let that quietness set

I won't talk without purpose

I won't joke at all

My joy is all on the surface

It's been all along
