Level on the Inside Lyrics
you sit me down to explain
all the trials you've endured
around and around the refrain
rings the same each time its heard
entertain the notion
entertain the notion
that the only thing i hear
is the crack of a smile
in a face that ain't so sincere
when i'm measuring out
is your quality
it is only as deep as your modesty
as your insides fall to pieces
shattered by the silent treatment
things are only fragile til they break
reigning your humility
it only serves to weaken the
most common observations that you make
turn me out in conversation
start a wave of provocation
wash away your interest in way, day
i think you can reach a place
where the impetus is pure
you'll understand a disgrace
is the thing that makes us feel
level on the inside
level on the outside
i'm content to know it
level on the inside
level on the outside
i dont mean to show it
when i'm measuring out
is your quality
it is only as deep as your modesty
as your insides fall to pieces
shattered by the silent treatment
things are only fragile til they break
reigning your humility
it only serves to weaken the
most common observations that you make
turn me out in conversation
start a wave of provocation
wash away your interest in way, day
all the trials you've endured
around and around the refrain
rings the same each time its heard
entertain the notion
entertain the notion
that the only thing i hear
is the crack of a smile
in a face that ain't so sincere
is your quality
it is only as deep as your modesty
as your insides fall to pieces
shattered by the silent treatment
things are only fragile til they break
reigning your humility
it only serves to weaken the
most common observations that you make
turn me out in conversation
start a wave of provocation
wash away your interest in way, day
where the impetus is pure
you'll understand a disgrace
is the thing that makes us feel
level on the inside
level on the outside
i'm content to know it
level on the inside
level on the outside
i dont mean to show it
is your quality
it is only as deep as your modesty
as your insides fall to pieces
shattered by the silent treatment
things are only fragile til they break
reigning your humility
it only serves to weaken the
most common observations that you make
turn me out in conversation
start a wave of provocation
wash away your interest in way, day

This song is so awesome!
I can't believe no one commented on it. I like the meaning of it, too. This person is trying to make the singer be, or do, something that isn't him. TThis person just talks crap to get their way and it's not working this time around.
good call. this is a fantastic song, one of my a/t faves.
This is a really good song. I cant beleive that its been out for so long with no comments. I think he is talking about mental disorders he or someone he knows may have and how that makes them feel on the inside. Level on the inside, level on the outside might mean that his mood is level or stable. I have bipolar disorder and i sorta feel like this song makes sense. These pills try to level you out but they dont really take it away.
