lyrics

Outside I go to pretend that I’m a person
I nod hello just like other people do
Stay in my lane and stand in lines
While my brain is ticking time
I go outside to pretend that I’m a person

Go to my job I go to pretend that I’m a person
A little small talk near the office coffee machine
Try hard to stay employed
At this place I don’t enjoy
Go to my job to pretend that I’m a person

They will not suspect
Because they are faking too
We think we are the independents
But we are the zoo

I’m at the restaurant pretending I’m a person
I sit alone until the waitress comes to speak
Avoiding all the eye contact
With those at other tables
I’m at the restaurant pretending I’m a person

If I told the truth
They would lock me up
We can’t see through
Our own construct
