Force Feeding

from Operating in Unsafe Mode by Figures

/

lyrics

VERSE 1
Take on every thought to perceive as defeating me
See it setting in stone
Not what it was supposed to be
Still it will resonate all the same
But not on my resume
Nor the places I go
Whenever on show
Never redirect
And break the camera flow
‘Cause I guess new life
Can only devolve
And I’m unfit throw away the cave I’m hibernating in
No, I can’t disown
And follow my own advice
To utilise the dice
You’ve never thrown

CHORUS
What’s it they say about insanity?
Repeatedly force feeding a meaning to my conditioning
An unpredictable casualty
Or so it seems to be
If not for that old adage on history


VERSE 2
My world provokes the fear to fall
So to find a fault designed to choke the now unfocused mind
It’s all overexposed
To alter the old pose
Or the clothes of the mannequin
Play the part of a reluctant man again
Play it up for a passing fling
To pass on the real thing
No, I can’t disown and follow the method I know
To let the rest go


CHORUS


BRIDGE
Take on every thought I perceive as the only way
Take on every attribute, acutely reconfiguring me
Take on every voice that I hear as the final way
as the right way

No, I can’t disown and follow the method i know
To let the rest go

CHORUS

So let the rest go
So let the rest go
So let the rest
