The Way We Are Lyrics

Clockwork counting the notches

Numbered nicks in our spines

Hope the mechanisms makes our souls rise

Buttons trigger each motion

Tingles are tied up in wires

Flip of the switch and we hit all the marks on the line

But don't say we are the way we are

Don't say we are the way we are

Don't say we are the way we are

Don't say

Tracks lead us to our stations

Fuel us up or we die

Tick of the tape fills our brains keeps us moving in time

There's not more than the humming

There's not more than the signs

Pull us along, pull us on, pull us through this live

But don't say we are the way we are

Don't say we are the way we are

Don't say we are the way we are

Don't say

We were the diamonds in the sky

We were the dancing of the light

So much has changed with every trial

And how we feel it

Don't say

Don't say we are the way we are

Don't say we are the way we are

We tried so hard and got this far

Don't say
