behave, hollow automaton Lyrics

Throw down the keys on the table

Playing it down's getting played out

Put on a new shirt when i'm able

With a year's old stain, still looks the same

Human condition loops endlessly; it sticks to my skin

Is that all you got

Patterns in my arms

You're totally full of it

I'll grow a new lung when i'm able

An endless refrain: back to square one

If i'm nothing but lazy and stable

Why does my old pain still ache the same

Stare out the window

Losing my purpose, i stand there for hours

Show me what you got

Circles 'round my eyes

Yeah i must be full of it

My headache's eating all my words again

You got a problem it must be my fault

Sorry for being vain, you need your space

There's ringing in my ears and screeches in the dark

She lets her cassette record everything

So she can record her mistakes and play her part

But all she hears is every mess she's made

And again she marks the progress on her arm

My feet are swollen and my arms are sore

Stare at the razor i left sitting on the floor

I bite my tongue and fight the art again

Whatever i wanted just wasn't in the cards

She watches all her work coagulate

The hollow noises eating at her start to fade

Rewinds her cassette and restarts the tape

The cycle looping over and over again

Her hallowed heart promises to refill again
