Lyrics
v1.
You, all the ways that you look through me, all the things that you never see, like the times that I walk past you, trying hard not to be amused, at the way that you watch your feet, making sure that our eyes never meet, drowning in your insecurities, you're inconvenienced by society.
v2.
You, just a stranger out in the street, all these people you'll never meet, if they asked for the time of day, you'd feel awkward and just walk away, from a strange situation that we train outselves into, we ignore all the others, we just leave them all behind.
c1.
We're all packed like sardines, but you'll never hear the silent screams, we let out in our minds, for the contact we need to get by.
v3.
Everyday I work to defeat, my mind and it's stubborn beliefs of the world all around me today, I'm drifting further and further away from this strange situation that we train ourselves into, we ignore all the others we just leave them all behind.
c2.
We're all packed like sardines, but you'll never hear the silent screams, we let out in our minds, for the contact we need to get by.
c3.
We're all packed like sardines, but you'll never hear the silent screams, we let out in our minds, for the contact we need to get by.
