lyrics

My elastic wit stretches to a taper.
It takes all you can give.
It snaps back into place.
My elastic wit - it bends me out of shape.
The tension leaves me tired.
It chokes my circulation.

Choose a shape that fits,
and try to live in it.
Wear your practiced smile,
make sure it never slips.

My elastic wit - it’s frayed around the edges.
I’m bound too tight to scream.
Compressed too much to care.
My elastic wit - it pulls, it’s close to breaking.
It’s white across the centre.
It’s cutting off my airways.

Choose a shape that fits,
and try to live in it.
Wear your practiced smile,
make sure it never slips.

I wear it with a smile.
I bury it in drink.
It slices to the bone - my elastic wit.
It makes me laugh on purpose.
I howl into the void.
I’m standing to attention with my elastic wit.

Choose a shape that fits,
and try to live in it.
Wear your practiced smile,
make sure it never slips.
Choose a way to live,
and try to survive it.
Wear my favorite smile,
and bite down hard on it.
