Now I'm noticeably dumber than I was one year ago
And I would like to think it's a better thing, but I'd tell myself almost anything these days
It's a little complicated, lettin' people down is a full-time business
My shallow commitments surrounding me, I snapped my cellphone to escape
Now somewhere in this town there's a lynch mob for me
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
It's gettin' hard to stand up straight
Now there's strangers in the kitchen
I'm dodgin' people like they're bullets
'Cause we're not talking, we're just practicing our small talk
And I've learned tricks about savin' face
I gotta keep you all thinkin' that I'm lovin' this place
I don't mean to be crude but I can't talk to you without a cigarette in my hand
It's a crutch to hold me up
It's my shield from all you
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
You must me down all because of me
