Lately I have been noticing That this other life Does not revolve around A silly war dream I have been Living underneath And everything I'm meant to hear Is not making sense anymore Get up on me Get down on me I know you'll never claim me All these years Spent internally Trapped under the wheels Which would only spin For the outside's needs All so indiscreet And then supposedly All fell incomplete I began to breathe And then the grid fell in So now the patience leaks Time to switch the film Capture a brand new scene But now they start to sneer So it's about time I warned The disinterested: Get up on me Get down on me I know you'll never claim me But all that flesh Rips through like a shockwave The flash of eyes Brighter than a nuclear sunrise You always had to be artificial You always had to shine your floodlights past me I am not all I'm supposed to be In fact I'm under the impression that they all agree But yet they keep it sealed Underneath their grins Until I wander past Dragging this insecurity But all they want to see Is a pretentious glee And that's quite fine by me Whatever helps it spin It's just a script, you see That functions independently Of one's unique identity Promptly spit out by the social grid Was that too much to take in? This should be easier: Get off of me I know you'll never claim me But all that flesh Rips through like a shockwave The flash of eyes Brighter than an nuclear sunrise And I just wish I was artificial So I could reach out and mute This swollen silence Just step aside Let it all slide You are the outside
