poker face

[Verse 1]
The world
hidden reality
Every second swirl
I make a note of all my doubts
I gaze
A compass on the canvas
Something floating in the air
I can never settle

[Pre-Chorus]
Neither love nor friendship
Can satisfy me
So I pretend to be calm

[Chorus]
I don't say a word, but I'm burning
I overthink everything
I can't change my direction
I need action
The past is what matters
And
Don't compare my heart to yours
Shine the light
Reorganize it
Condense the information and it'll be instant
Even without the card, I know your name

[Verse 2]
Half-awake
On a crowded train
Everyone's tired of fighting, but the hatred won't go away
On the other side of the TV
Continued manipulation
Silent history
Is a new place in the sun?

[Chorus]
I don't say a word, but I'm on fire. I overthink everything. I can't change direction. I need action. The past is what matters. And
Don't compare my heart to yours. Shine the light on it. Reorganize it. Condense the information. In an instant. I know your name even if I don't have the cards.

[Bridge]
If I head down. Before I'm ready. If I fail. I'll put on a poker face. If the missing piece is something I can create. It's okay to break the silence, right? We're all living in the present. We're protagonists of history.
[Chorus]
I don't say a word, but I'm on fire. I overthink everything. I can't change direction. I need action. The past is what matters. And
Don't compare my heart to yours. Shine the light on it. Reorganize it. Condense the information. In an instant. I know your name even if I don't have the cards.
