Small Talk

hows the weather?

it's starting to look like rain

I tell you I'm good

but the truth is I've seen better days

i know when you ask me how I'm doing you want me to tell you lies

if I tell you I'm anything but fine

your feigned interest in the conversation dies

I'm OK I'm OK I'm OK

I'm just fine, right as rain

or at least that's what I'll say

I'm so sick of small talk

don't ask me how I am

you're small talk makes me sick

godamn

I'm sick of small talk

and that just how I am

I want to connect

to share theories, facts, and stories

let's skip the pleasantries and dive right in

to real world problems and the state the world's in

I want to know what you believe in

you're thoughts on life, death, and the world we live in

so skip the small talk, let's start real

skip the small talk, I'll tell you how I really feel

I'm so sick of small talk

don't ask me how I am

your small talk makes me sick

goddamn

I'm sick of small talk

and baby that's how I am
