Well I've survived this well enough that what I have to say
Is just professions of arrested feelings I can't explain
Everything I've seen from that day on's to distract the eyes
I slaughter all your statements just to weed out the lies

But the urge to be indicted tends to turn on the breaks
The silver linings start to sputter till they're gone in your wake
You've been thrusted back into the game of playing it long
But how could this one possibly go wrong?

And they say oh, put your faith in me
Or face the stark reality

So forgive me now and then for not knowing what to do
Because all my infrastructure's built solely to serve you
You can try and you can try, but it's never enough
So you'll spend the next semester trying to prove you tough

You prescribe the next in line the shit you learned in the game
And you'll pry and pry and pry and it'll turn out the same
Every little thing is analyzed to lock in the code
Until you tip the other way and she tells you that she's bored

And they say oh, put your faith in me
Or face the stark reality
