"THE INDUSTRY NEEDS TO WATER THEM / REASSURANCE SIMULATOR" lyrics

I seek appeal
You steal my meal
See progression systems unfold
Behind you
There's something I'd like to see
Behind me
There's envy

Gig is done
Over now
Underwhelm
Cry for help
Episode
Unreleased
I just want you to notice me
But I can't relate to anything you do
Or anyone you meet

Reassurance-Simulator Defense
Reject courage into emulation

No one's paying attention to me
You're not even listening

Standing in the back of the coat-check line
Practice every day, but we argue all the time
Think outside the box 'til you cross over the line
Project everything from your state of mind

Open-casket
Never thought about it
Will I leave it finished for assessment?

Will they pay attention to me?
Simulation's obsolete
No one ever told me that the price is never free
No one ever told me that they want to be like me

Standing in the back of the coat-check line
Practice every day, but we argue all the time
Think outside the box 'til you cross over the line
Project everything from your state of mind

Doing everything that they want me to be
Advertising things that they want me to see
Making the decisions that they want me to feel
Threatening existence with the goal of overcoming something that you thought you couldn't even feel
