lyrics

Manners so robotic
Once at peace so bitter
Patience is caving, tolerance left behind
Enough for one day
Getting so frantic, can't last forever
Why so neurotic? as if

Collided, retracted
There was no way to fight it
Don't know what's right from wrong, always such a burn
Seem so delighted, your life so recited
It starts right now, it's what you're racing for

Play along, for you it's automatic
But you work every means to fall
Believe what ain't so, put it all together once through
And rub it till there's static
It's where you belong
Just count the times that you were wrong
Play along, for you it’s automatic

Lately I see that you are one sided
What set it off?
Mad, makes you tough, makes you rough
Sad, cause you have no proof
You reside outside my head

Enlightened, yet frightened
Use every wit to prime it
the catch to every pun, conclusions are absurd
Guided by such patterns, you'd think one would buy it
It ends right now, your reasoning's branded poor

The dotted lines that burst thus far
This shrugging's getting quite monotone
Your false validity raised the bar
Pure reflection of you
Given the notice to disregard
You're surrounded
