Lyrics
Complicate all the things you say
What tiny lives each of our lies must lead
As we disapprove of us entirely
Disguise away the ways in which we're incomplete
And cover them in encouraging
Insincerities, and use our routines
To increase the revenue, get the kids ready for school
Rise with the sun and leave our secrets sleeping in
And this is how we live
This is how we live
Orchestrate all the things you say
So all the neighbors see you scream out publicly
Teach the local kids that the arithmetic
Of attention and affection goes like this
"We'll take what we can get."
I can't take it
Awaken the needful things that we've created
We're separated
Awaiting the evil things our tiny cages no longer can contain
The fuel that leaks from our machine
Shopping and therapy and modern economics
Floods the local scene in
And reckless chemistry, all so we can sleep
I can't take it
Awaken the needful things that we've created
We're separated
Awaiting the evil things our tiny cages no longer can contain
The vicious teeth of our mistakes
This is how we dream
Yeah, this is how we dream
