Starting Line – Selected Attention lyrics

you make quite a lot for yourself
one better than you drowns
but it's weighing down
the sides of your mouth
to an appearing frown
there's more to add
than in my doubts
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
we get
our points
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
