I need to brighten my days and smile more. I need to make this shit last. I'll go for a walk in the dark wearing sunglasses and a hood and pretend the sun's still shining. I'm gonna tell jokes that aren't funny just to make myself laugh. I need to forget I ever pretended to be happy when I wasn't. Then I'm going to pretend again. Keep tapping me on the shoulder and looking for answers. I'll keep giving you fake smiles.
"You wake up but not really. In the bedroom you grew up in. It's the only place on this entire planet that is yours. The only place on the planet that understands you. It understands the way your nerves flare everytime you think about talking to anyone, scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. It knows what turns that switch on and off and on again. It understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "what's wrong"s and "you look tired"s. So the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. It understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends. The way you look in the mirror and think of yourself as "Mr. Misery". "
<3 Pete Wentz, you make me smile. I hate that your name is so cliche.
