Social Syntax Lyrics

Every single chance we get to meet we dance in a veil of lies

Playing stupid games all of time trying to stay in line

Never will we say what's on our minds and admit it's a waste of time

We know that there are rules around these things to forget them would be a crime

But as the foolish breaker of the hidden laws I chose to ignore them all

Even when you tried to run away I couldn't help but insist that you stay

Right here by my side even in disguise I couldn't hide

Everything that I felt deep down inside

Stuck inside the sidelines

Behind the guidelines of what's acceptable

If I take what I can with these hands

I'm sure to lose everything that I am

But just one time just one time

I'd like to change this world of mine

Yes I know

There's only so far I can go

But I'll do what I can

Once again it seems we're forced to meet masked in a veil of lies

Though you seem to stare so intently there's nothing behind those eyes

Going through the motions day by day

Only saying the the things we're supposed to say

Is it really ok just to drift away off the force of the passing tide of pretend

Yet again does this game even end

Muddying the message that I had tried to send to you

I wonder if it's ever truly gonna get through

And so I closed my eyes and rolled the die

Hoping I could catch the ending I wanted to

Chained by this society

Held back from what I'd like to be

If I give it my all I'm sure I'll fall

And not a single person would hear my calls

But just one time just one time

I'd like to change this world of mine

Yes i know

There's only so far I can go

But I'll do what i can

Ah it's such a shame that I might have to spend my whole life playing this game

Ah it's too much pain why do I have to spend my whole life writhing in pain

Every single time we're faced with pain we act like it's all the same

Brushing off our hardships one by one we say that we broke the chain

Ignoring all the problems facing us still standing behind our broken trust

Is this really just the path ahead of us to lose all that we attain

I wanted it more than anything

The smiles of all those from up above

But most importantly the one right next to me

The one I couldn't see

Because I couldn't be enough

This world that makes a fool of me

Is laced with rules I still can't see

If I cover my ears and shut my eyes

I'm certain to meet my demise

But just one time just one time

I'd like to change this world of mine

Yes I know

There's only so far i can go

But I'll do what i can

Although it may not be that much

Or not even be enough

We'll do our best and simply trust that these winds will change

With your hand in mine we're bound to find our place where we belong
