lyrics

For every count down
there's an equal reaction
complete with a glance and
A way to avoid it
She lifts it to her lips mechanical memory
Just long enough to relapse
I think you have all that it takes
It's just the god damned games we play

She moves around to the sound of her own heart changing slowly
She moves around in the braided short cuts
She looks around at the weights and measures that hold her
She never noticed all the wars she's waging

The magazine eyes
and their glare-free permanence
they bolster the ways you
calmly amalgamate
Your needs with your wants and the expectations
Like it does not hurt to not be what you see
I think you have all that it takes
It's just all the god damned games we play
