Lyrics:
Trying to speak
With plastic tongues
Trying to breathe
With paper lungs


I think you know

But what of the strangers?
And the prophets in bars?
With all the right thoughts
But none of the scars

You're trying to get real
With avatars

But it's all counterfeit
It's all funny money
It's fuzzy math
It doesn't add up

You're still
Anonymous

Trying to speak
With plastic tongues
Trying to breathe
With paper lungs

But you do this to yourself
You could end this
You could take the mask off
You could throw the costume away

It's a shitty disguise anyway
Nobody real falls for it
You're just playing dress-up
You're just playing make-believe

No more yardsticks
Because this doesn't go that deep
This doesn't measure up
This doesn't go that deep

Watch your step
You might get shit on your shoes
Watch what you say
They may think it's actually true
What will the strangers say?
If they see the real you?

What will they think?
If they see the real you?

Trying to speak
With plastic tongues
Trying to breathe
With paper lungs

No more yardsticks
No more measures
This doesn't go that deep
You're still anonymous

What will they think?

Watch where you step
You might get shit on your shoes
Watch what you say
They may think it's true

What will they say?
About you?
