lyrics

We were told:
You are the sum of your parts & some chemical hope
As though the self's in the skin, & the heart's in some hormones
We were deceived:
You are just the product of genetics & environment!
Have you seen the sin in your irises?
Who are the voices in your bloodstream?
We were fired:
To stoke the fear of the new hire
The difference between hope & despair
Half empty, half full, zero, null, all is fair
Nihilistic, near miss, none the wiser
We were beaten bloody raw
The quotient of choice & the fists of the law
Hands in touchscreen handcuffs, bloody backs against the wall
I was speaking language learned in borrowed voices
Wearing costumes for choreographed avoidance
Safety in secrecy
I am the ghost in your machinery
Still silent, still lost, stagnant, but still breathing
Breathing. breathing. breathing. breathing.
Well, i haven't been myself in quite some time
Drowning in the social calculus of common courtesy
Ey, who's the gal behind the game?
Yeah, who's the skirt behind the script?
Who's the dumb motherfucker who thought they were human?
Relative content, hollow dialect
I haven't been myself in quite some time.
