lyrics

It's hard to put into words
They seem to spill out at random
The symbols all seem absurd, when you're
Too dumb to understand them
So the show spills on forward,
No time to recap
Feels like I slept through the first act

I wear a face optimized
To minimize interaction
A carefully improvised
Synthetic sterile abstraction
But consciousness gleams
Through the widening seams
The unrelenting stream

Now, everybody wants to play along
With the joke that we're all desperate to be in on
And the madrigal of conversation
Calls us to respond
and join the chorus line
The joyful noise of wasting our time...

If I seem under-rehearsed
It's never for lack of trying
My focus only gets worse
Knowing each moment, I'm dying

I'll flee through the neon-lit night of my soul
Free to fall through the fourth wall; I'm
Lost inside the role.
