lyrics

you hide in your house
in the center of town
and at the edge of your mouth
a smirk raises and routes the way we

talk to each other
the way you won’t talk to me
about the things that do bother
the subtle violence i see

there’s a way to be open
and there’s a way to be closed
and as a man you’re in the middle
but no one wants to expose the way you

hide in your house
in the center of town
and at the edge of your mouth
a snake comes slithering out at me

and the girls at the parties
they already know your name
the subtle violence you inflict
and all the lives you've inflamed

cause there’s a way to be open
and there’s a way to be closed
and as a man you’re in the middle
perfectly predisposed to

never care to listen
never care to ask
the women in your life are tired
working to keep you on track while you

hide in your house
in the center of town
and at the edge of your mouth
a smirk raises and routes the way you

talk to your mother
the way you won’t talk to me
about the things that do bother
the injustice i see

cause there’s a way to be open
and there’s a way to be closed
and as a boy you don’t do either
as a boy you’d never know

that all the girls at the parties
they already know your name
the subtle violence you inflict
all the lives you inflame

yet you never care to listen
never care to ask
the girls that are working
to keep your life on track while you

hide in your house
in the center of town
cause at the edge of your mouth
indifference raises and routes the way you are
