[Verse 1]
Now I'm noticeably dumber than I was one year ago
And I would like to think it's a better thing, but I'd tell myself almost anything these days
It's a little complicated, lettin' people down is a full-time business
My shallow commitments surrounding me, I snapped my cellphone to escape
Now somewhere in this town there's a lynch mob for me
[Chorus 1]
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
It's gettin' hard to stand up straight
[Verse 2]
Now there's strangers in the kitchen
I'm dodgin' people like they're bullets
'Cause we're not talking, we're just practicing our small talk
And I've learned tricks about savin' face
I gotta keep you all thinkin' that I'm lovin' this place
I don't mean to be crude but I can't talk to you without a cigarette in my hand
It's a crutch to hold me up
It's my shield from all you
[Chorus 1]
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
[Chorus 2]
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
Oh charlatan me
I can't control all these feelings
You must me down all because of me
