Selected Attention Lyrics - Starting Line

you make quite a lot for yourself 

one better than you drempt 

but it's weighing down 

the sides of your mouth 

to an appearing frown 

there's more to it 

than in might sound 

sharpen your overacting skills 

to cut through the tension 

mark your words 

with confidence 

selective attention 

try and steady yourself 

but with one hand down 

losing balance 

take a look at your hometown 

you're a different person now 

only one who hasn't changed 

only one who's stayed the same 

sharpen your overacting skills 

to cut through the tension 

mark your words 

with confidence 

selective attention 

Make it 

a point 

to appreciate the life you lead 

don't rush the days you'll 

wish they stayed for one year later 

it's a tragic case of bad taste 

but it's all concerning you 

who truly can appreciate the 

mess you've made 

sharpen your overacting skills 

to cut through the tension 

mark your words 

with confidence 

selective attention
