lyrics

From all I can tell, you're the sum of what you've seen
And what you've heard
From any word
Of any person of ascribed importance they've been assigned
And really, it's very few
Ideas that are really new
And most of your ideals and even what you do
Came from someone else's mind
Meaning nobody's unique
Meaning the meaning that you seek
Is finding the repetition you can swallow
And you'll find that there's nothing else to find
Beyond saying
"Why should I listen to you when it's the same as listening to me?"

Don't believe them when they say
It's all in your head
Cuz you were right when you realized
You took the wrong way instead
And your friends don't age like wine
They age more like bread
So when you said
"I'd be better off dead"
Like you're the first
Well what's worse
From where you're at
It gets even worse than that

It's good to be a parrot, I can fly so high and free
I speak everyone else's mind and none argue with me
You see, I see
The way to be
To make the others call us "we"
Is wear one mask for the mission and the other for the plot
"It's clearly not
what you might have thought"
That's what we said even as we fought
Top down and bottom up until it's all gone
And all the pawns
Who resent the new dawn
Even if they're right and it's really wrong
It doesn't matter, we can just kill them all later on

And you really better hope
It's all in your head
Cuz you find a bitter flavor
In the words you just said
And your ideas don't age like wine
They age more like bread
So when you said
"Things should be this way instead"
Like you're the first
Well what's worse
From where you're at
It gets even worse than that

I've figured it out:
It's all in my head
So of course it don't offend me
Whatever you had said
And my friends don't age like wine
And they don't age like bread
Cuz like I said
They're all in my head
Like I'm the first
Well what's worse
If that's so
Then my imagination blows
