about

scenes from a closed improv theater

lyrics

She walked in the room about a quarter to ten
She looked around and couldn’t see her friends
Just a bunch of people trying to impress themselves
An introverted version of hell
But she flashes a smile
And she waves hello
And promises that she’ll go see your show
But we both know that she couldn’t give a shit
But she tries anyway like it’s a comedy bit

And I know when you stand perfectly still
That you try committing ego death at will.

She’s walks around like she runs the place
Doesn’t know the name but she knows the face
Just nod politely and say goodbye
Til she leaves and she bump into the same guy
She wanted a place just to call her own
But these days you have to build your throne
So she finds a way to normalize
The bullshit, the small talk, and all the lies

And I know when you stand perfectly still
That you try committing ego death at will. There’s a chance that you might reveal
The side of you you want to conceal.
Hey hey hey ;)
