Gimmicks Lyrics

Make shallow words come out of nothing

When all the gimmicks that you've fallen for have gone

Each time you realize the promise

Can't make believers of the common come to play

Please stop the reasoning with hot takes

Those arms grab everything available to grab

They wanted more than you could offer

Less spent forgiving for a comment gone astray

You tend to wander into

These lives without a warning

It's not the time to listen

It's always time to listen

But I don't want you to go through that

No I don't want you to go through that

It seems the timing is always bad

So I don't want you to go through that

You were left here

But no one told you why or how to get out

Which makes sense when you think about it

Because how would they know?

And it's not the first time you've found yourself in this situation, no

But it might be the first time you could make a difference

So remember all the conversations you've had

That soul-crushing tedium

Well there are bound to be clues in there

You just need to be resourceful

No one's expecting a miracle here or a spectacle of contrition

We've forgotten about the ratings

We're on a forever diet

All around you are moments like these

Just waiting for you to meet them halfway

But I don't want you to go through that
