Symmetries

It was oh, so easy to be confused

Live by the book or don't, you wouldn't be excused

A price you pay to win a game, just to be

More than once on the outside looking in

I grew up in a city of perfect squares

(It was all I knew)

Blacks and whites and ones and zeroes

(Oh, I could swear to you)

If you didn't know what to do

Just pick a path, You know it's laid out for you

But this isn't what I knew

I don't know what you mean when you say be yourself

Oh to think I lost my way

Let me be

This symmetry

Let me be

This symmetry

Is it in style yet to be asymmetrical?

I could use it, I'd be less critical

Tell me how to stop

Worrying about these things

They don't matter

How could I let the world see this freaking mess?

Oh to think I'd gone astray

This symmetry is wearing me down don't you see?

This symmetry is not where I can be

Let me be, I'm not life of the party

This symmetry is wearing me down, don't you see?

Let me be

This symmetry

Let me be

This symmetry

Call me weird

Call me pretty

Say I've changed

Say it's unlike me

Call me weird

Call me pretty

Say it's strange

Say it's crazy

But this symmetry is wearing me down, don't you see?

This symmetry is not where I can be

Oh let me be, I'm not life of the party

Surrender morning symmetries are surrounding

This symmetry is wearing down on me

We're a strange little breed, don't you see

This symmetry is wearing me down, don't you see

So say I look my best in my asymmetry

Let me be

Symmetry

Let me be
