lyrics

Seems like I'm trying to get everything out
when in reality I'm trying to find more inside
than a lack of attention I shouldn't mention
cuz this stage would look kind of suspicious
Would it?

Just try to ignore everything I just said
applaud like before despite what I meant

Cuz you're part of a scene now you feel whole again,
don't bother to think how the message I sent
and the irony created ridicules the content of your head...

But still I notice a dozen pairs of clapping hands
You think you've "got" this song
and what it stands for
I bet you think you're different from the rest
I do not intend to offend
I'm just making a suggestion...

Best for you forget about this song,
keep on thinking and it won't be long
before you get it wrong again,
to think that you belong somewhere
the irony continues to be common wealth

Sad thing is you've done it all before (And I know)
that you didn;t pretend
you believed you were friends (What I saw)
but the only common ground was music
and the rest was superficial unity
for common style's sake

You wouldn't play it safe, you had to get away
from this game of "find the differences"
while hating all the witnesses
You let them down, left their heads underground
Still you got away believing you were the winner if the round...

But still you search the world
for the truest "rebel yell"
Think you got some allies but it's yourself you sell
By now you probably think we're a bunch of sellouts
If my point was to offend I'd be taking to myself too...

Check the source of your recruiting needs
just in case it's overwhelming ease
What color matches fame?
Forget about your game

To leave them all behind
you simply draw the line
It's gonna take some rules
but they're for you to choose.
As I thought

If it's true for you,
you don't need a pack of copies to believe it too
Unlike you they won't gladly leave their
place in the queue for a sustainable,
yet so common success in adulthood
You try to recognize beliefs that vanished
because of the stress of time
And though it's not the same for you,
you consider yourself stupid
for looking at clouds the way you do
Though that's what kids should do!

We spend our whole existences
reforming ourselves
Who knows in the end
we might belong somewhere,no?
"we'll fight for our values" we shouted out loud,
tried to separate us from the crowd
but reality stroke and we had to hit the ground
