lyrics

When we met, your eyes were full of wonder.
But it seems like all the wonder has now gone.
And the patterns in the way you speak still feel so similar,
but the meaning in it seems to be withdrawn.

Oh I know you always were a thinker.
Your brain was running like a marathon,
and still you speak so often of the things inside your mind,
but the sound just seem to ramble on and on.

There's this way that you get stuck but not quite like you did before,
When you'd pause on a thought, but come back out with so much more,
Now it feels like you only speak in banal old cliche's
Like withered fruit sun drenched in artificial rays.

As I Aged, I started to forget
The exact date, or time that you died
But it's easy to note the year it was
Because since that time, you never have lied

That's the way I know that you aren't who you were before
That the programming was always there to serve
And allow me to forget the places in between the blur
Of when you had and when you lost your nerve

There's this way that you get stuck...
There's this way that you get stuck and never change
and I wonder who else I may know that's no longer themselves
and how long will it be til it no longer feels strange
as we blather on together on our banal old cliches
like withered fruit sun drenched in artificial rays
