While you dance around You kick up a cloud You complain about how you can’t see And know that it’s all your fault Well you place the blame Simply placing the blame On everyone except for yourself And it’s yourself .. .. All of this time spent idly by Spent simply coming up with ways Of wasting our time Simply wasting our time

Cut from the same shape And set into the same place You’re content with it being simply measured in quantity and pace Our only hope at this point is that it could possibly be different someday .. .. Cuz what it lacks in shape I lack in simply being content .. .. Don’t panic push forward This crowd’s in a hurry Don’t panic push forward You’re not the only one .. .. Look at my hair Swept by the lake Look at my skin give Watching my flesh take And what do you care Because what does it take? Look at my skin now Still reflecting the lake

Our figures Bent by the light And it figures that we’d feel this way, right? Our voices Like stories retold Well, they’re nice at first and then they’re sad and they’re old Our shapes Well, so clear in the dark Help them or they’ll take it too far .. .. Bent over Eyes to the side Simply guessing at the shapes on the wall .. .. It’s rough and it’s rushed and it comes out It’s in the angles in the shapes in between us If it’s first then it’s twice then it happens that’s it been happening ever since then Come on out and admit it It’s in the angles in the shapes in your faces Come on out and admit it It’s all these things at once and .. .. Oh my god my hands face down I feel my palms press on the ground Oh this view looks so familiar .. .. We’re all telling tales taller than we are We are all so sure we’re the only ones around
