TV's creeping in my head
Radio is leaving little messages
Patterns from the telephone
Signals being sent from down below
Remembering the better days
When everybody recognized my face
Look at me, I turn to stone
Smiles disappear when we're alone
Oh, I'm just a drone
I didn't want to let you go
But force fed smiles were all we had long ago
Your hollow eyes felt whole to me
The things they'd seen made you so deep
But now I feel them judging me
Left the sad and tired things
For shiny little people wearing wings
Fall asleep when we wake up
The city's started crumbling in the mud
Smiles turn to sharpened teeth
Try to fly but we have lost our wings
Feel so high then lose a friend
We'll recall that we are just human
I didn't want to let you go
But force fed smiles were all we had long ago
Your hollow eyes felt whole to me
The things they'd seen made you so deep
But now I feel them judging me

Another Dimension

I remember every face I see
In the darkness they're incomplete
Driving in my car alone at night
Some of them show up
The ghosts that memories ignite
And I can't understand
And I won't understand
Or I can't understand
Where I end and they begin
I take and I give to everyone I see
I don't know what it is that keeps me from being me
I take from this limitless supply
And mimic everything and memorize their smiles
And I'll tell the living ah ah
You don't know me but I
Don't want you to know me
For every silent cry
In another dimension I die
Because you don't know me
And I can't understand
Or I won't understand
No I can't understand
Where I end and I begin
I take and I give to everyone I see
I don't know what it is that keeps me from being me
I take from this limitless supply
And mimic everything and memorize their smiles

Oh, I can't understand how the lights dance all around your face
Oh, I can't tell you where to stand
But your misanthropic mind makes mine erase
I can't wait for you to try me again
Took a while for me to finally win
It was an uphill struggle and you pushed me all the way to trouble
I'm at my wit's end
Oh, we're far from Kansas now
Jumping through the hoops you made me chase
Oh, I can't imagine where you've been
Under a rock or a pretty face
I can't wait for you to try me again
Took a while for me to finally win
It was an uphill struggle and you pushed me all the way to trouble
I'm at my wit's end
I can't watch you lie to us like that
You never loved me like that
You never helped me like that
You'll never fully love someone like that

Maybe We could cheat
Beginnings are so sweet
Glue back our baby teeth
They're gone
Disappearing cause
Hold onto what is lost
You're a ticking time bomb oh oh oh oh
Rewind, the tape is over
No one was there to wake us up
We were killing time together
Killing time together
I wasn't there to wake you up
Now I'm killing time forever
Killing time forever
We're falling through the floor
And tripping on our words
Go through the cellar door you're gone
Reanimate the dead
Forgetting what we said
Time and time again oh wah ah ah ah
Rewind, the tape is over
No one was there to wake us up
We were killing time together
Killing time together
I wasn't there to wake you up
Now I'm killing time forever
Killing time forever
