Metrics Songtext
von Active Bird Community

Why can′t I sleep, without a pill between my teeth?
Always counting off the trees that grow somewhere else
My friends know, while this is what I chose
It tends to throw me overboard
With thoughts like this

You don't have to be the one who changes it
A parlor trick, of endless hints
A resounding word for the ignored
A metric of the bleeding world


Why can′t I speak without a joke between my teeth?
Always mouthing off my needs, to everyone else
My friends knew, that this is what I'd choose
Before I had a fucking clue
And it starts like this

You don't have to be the one who changes it
A parlor trick, a endless hit
A sounding board for the ignored, a metric of a bleeding world
A fully functional human being, who totally wishes to be seen
So just follow the through, pretend you′re you
And think of all the things you want to

You don′t have to be the one changes it
A parlor trick of endless hits
Or a sounding board for the ignored
A metric of a bleeding world
