Lyrics

clothing, faces: things we don
kinship, clubs: where we belong
morning ritual of dress up
washed and ready, walls and chin up
choose expressions, check the mirror
practice poses to be clearer
I am this, not that
slogans primed and pat

and then at the end of the day
exhale, put the costume away
reflect and let go
prepare yourself for tomorrow

autopilot automaton
know your lines; keep your mask on
there are patterns in the town
kings and cooks and cops and clowns
waves will shift and you’ll float along
holding tight when the current’s strong
enclosed in the crowd
acceptance a vow

but then at the end of the day
are you certain, are you unchanged?
who will you follow tomorrow?
who will you lead?

what if you turned the other way?
what would be different?
what could be gained?
what could be lost?
what is the cost of change?

hush now, take your melatonin
line up, here’s your serotonin
sleep dreamless sleep
live lifeless life

and then at the end of the day
exhale, put the costume away
reflect and let go
until your last tomorrow
