Crisis

Lyrics

(CHORUS) Underwhelm and overthrow me Oversell your understanding A crisis Of quiet remarks Much like this Feeling you're on The phrases We holster for months You smile when I ask what you want (VERSE 1) Lessons and parables heard as a child All set up the terrible things from your life And watch you blunder through them I asked but you were quite quiet I asked but you were quite quiet (CHORUS) Underwhelm and overthrow me Oversell your understanding A crisis Of quiet remarks Much like this Feeling you're on The phrases We holster for months You smile when I ask what you want (VERSE 2) I asked but you were quite quiet I asked but you were quite quiet You'll watch me blunder through this And wonder how you knew it Remember that image of quiet alarm? You as a mother alive with your songs Me as a guard and I'm holding your arm Fingertips only; I thought it was wrong (CHORUS) Underwhelm and overthrow me Oversell your understanding A crisis Of quiet remarks Much like this Feeling you're on The phrases We holster for months You smile when I ask what you want
