Overtone

Checking In

I call it a pantomime

I want to make a face

I don’t want to crack it up

Checking in myself

I got in over my head

I’m giving up my guilt

And count out any plans

Checking In

Checking In

I could have said I want to erase it

The weak sound

Instead I want to reveal it

Overtone

A known task

It’s all an act

Could send it back

But you’re in doubt

Take you to town

Take it out and test it out among us

Should anything we don’t know come back to bite us

Should anyone know know know know know

I’ll sleep covered in makeup

Should we talk about what we saw

Burning the fake up

Burnt in my mind I see them

All the other people in me

All the other people in the world

All the other people in the world
