"Identical" lyrics

"Identical"

I don't just know you
I've grown like that too

(Identical, identical)
(Identical, identical)

If I don't dislike you
I'm withdrawn, unrighteous too

(Identical, identical)
(Identical, identical)

I don't just know you
But a red rose lies, peonies too
(Identical, identical) A caress can hide the lassitude
(Identical, identical)

In the same room, on the same night
I found you caught in the headlights
(Identical, identical) Hold up to show your gratitude
(Identical, identical)

Un-forget
Un-washed away
Can't forgive
What you were
No God forbid
To persuade
All your sins
Are counterfeit

I'll follow my own mistrial
I heard the echo this time
So why not discuss this headline?
Now, we're sitting on the same side of this aisle

Reflections on the protocol and reciprocity
Hey father, mother, daughter here's another varsity
Gazing 'round the corner of the university
Can't call it out, but keep calling you out loud

Tell me you're trying
Trying to regret
Playing all night those video tapes
"I'm no prophet
I'm your friend
Take my advice, make your mistakes"

(Identical, identical)
(Identical, identical)

Scaffoldings
Cover the mess up
Look how high they go
I'm keeping up to code

(Identical, identical)
(Identical, identical)

It's Piled-up rims
And Polyester
We're losing every vote
To every vulture
(Identical, identical)
I told you we'd be auto-tuned
(Identical, identical)

One more thrill
Tucked away
Hold on still
To celebrate
Wonder wheel
And Chop Suey
Fold your arms and wait
Don't talk to say

If only righteous helped me find out the right one
We always want to do it better than last time
We're going through the zeitgeist till midnight
When we go back from shooting satellites to red lights

In every other corner of the universe we're in
I'll follow your advices and ignore the marketing
Tell me how to focus on the things that I'm missing
Can't call it out but keep calling you out loud

Tell me you're trying
Trying to regret
Playing all night those video tapes
"I'm no prophet
I'm your friend
Take my advice, make your mistakes"

I'm right beside you
Unfold that I know you
I'm told that it's my fault
I'd rather fall and lose control again

(Identical, identical)
(Identical, identical)
(Identical, identical)
(Identical, identical)

I'm losing my friend
I'm losing my grip
Praying all night to radio waves
"I'm no prophet
I'm your friend
Take my advice, make your mistakes"
