Lately I have been noticing
That this other life
Does not revolve around
A silly war dream
I have been
Living underneath
And everything I'm meant to hear
Is not making sense anymore

Chorus:

Get up on me
Get down on me
I know you'll never claim me

All these years
Spent internally
Trapped under the wheels
Which would only spin
For the outside's needs
All so indiscreet
And then supposedly
All fell incomplete
I began to breathe
And then the grid fell in
So now the patience leaks
Time to switch the film
Capture a brand new scene
But now they start to sneer
So it's about time I warned
The disinterested:

Get up on me
Get down on me
I know you'll never claim me

But all that flesh
Rips through like a shockwave
The flash of eyes
Brighter than a nuclear sunrise
You always had to be artificial
You always had to shine your floodlights past me

I am not all I'm supposed to be
In fact I'm under the impression that they all agree
But yet they keep it sealed
Underneath their grins
Until I wander past
Dragging this insecurity
But all they want to see
Is a pretentious glee
And that's quite fine by me
Whatever helps it spin
It's just a script, you see
That functions independently
Of one's unique identity
Promptly spit out by the social grid

Was that too much to take in?
This should be easier:
Get off of me
I know you'll never claim me

But all that flesh
Rips through like a shockwave
The flash of eyes
Brighter than an nuclear sunrise
And I just wish I was artificial
So I could reach out and mute
This swollen silence

Just step aside
Let it all slide
You are the outside
