Clever (The Blackbird Session) Lyrics by Beartooth

The Blackbird Session

2019

[Intro]
Being clever's just my safety net

[Verse 1]
I hide behind my cadence
I hide behind the wall
I built so tall the weakness never spills
I hide all my burdens
I twist my words so well
I'm breaking, but the lie is what I sell

[Chorus]
If I'm clever, you might never understand
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content
Being clever's just my safety net

[Verse 2]
I tell you I feel better
I tell you I can sleep
I hope that it will bring a sense of peace
But the nights are getting darker
The day becomes so bleak
Another day I'm conscious is another day I bleed

[Chorus]
If I'm clever, you might never understand
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content
I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head
I feel my passing only benefits my friends
When I know nothing I say matters in the end, I finally feel content
Being clever's just my safety net

[Verse 3]
I'm out of ways to answer
I'm out of metaphors
I finally got so sick, there is no cure
I'm out of ways to answer
I'm out of metaphors
I finally got so sick, there is no cure
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
If I'm clever, you might never understand
I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand
When my happiness is hanging by a thread, I finally feel content
So messed up and inconsistent in my head
I feel my passing only benefits my friends
When I know nothing I say matters in the end, I finally feel content
Being clever's just my safety net
