You smiled too wide at brunch Then stared at the chair That little rumble hit And caught you unaware A hush in the hallway A twitch in your knee You crossed both ankles slow And prayed nobody’d see Hush now, stay polite Hold your face still Count to three in time Swallow hard, be chill Hope it’s only gas Hope it’s only gas Clench those cheeks and pass Hope it’s only gas Hope it’s only gas Hope it’s only gas Smile through the blast Hope it’s only gas The room went paper-quiet Your fork froze midair Your cousin at the table Gave you that stare You shifted one inch right Like grace was the plan Then stood up way too quick And blamed it on the ham Hush now, stay polite Hold your face still Count to three in time Swallow hard, be chill Hope it’s only gas Hope it’s only gas Clench those cheeks and pass Hope it’s only gas Hope it’s only gas Hope it’s only gas Smile through the blast Hope it’s only gas Maybe it’s a ghost Maybe it’s beans Maybe it’s the price Of your midnight scenes Hope it’s only gas Hope it’s only gas Clench those cheeks and pass Hope it’s only gas Hope it’s only gas Hope it’s only gas Smile through the blast Hope it’s only gas
