lyrics

No way, I don't think I will use my head today;
I'll rewind what comes to mind, say what I'd normally say
Greet the average with compliments,
eye contacts become rare
My opinion is irrelevant, what matters is that "I care"
But they wouldn't understand
even if I pointed out their worst
And they'd be way out of league, if I stood that close
So I'll just send my bright-eyed corpse...

A million handshakes will escort your everyday defying
Quit making noise you had a choice,
yet you're too old to stop denying that
a million handshakes will escort
your everyday defying, yet your pride is dying
Tried to stop before, came back for more

Because people turn their backs and started talking
Being left out, it sure felt kind of shocking
And so again you tap their backs,
you break the ice and camouflage,
a grin that speaks your mind if them,
a grin that says "You're mine again!"
A grin that only friends would understand,
that contains none of them

So keep talking, keep taking all they can give

But when alone again you're empty still
and all you've taken cannot fill
the void those pointless conversations left you with
You find yourself wishing there was
one to remember you for what you really are

(Chorus)

Bring them on!
And I'll find the courage to ignore
Bring them on!
And I'll speak my mind although
I'll probably miss the smile of the stranger
whose eyes color I couldn't remember

A million handshakes could have escorted
your everyday defying, yet your hands are untied
Separated those you should oppose
