You wait for another opportunity to speak
He looks for another way to bank
Same affirmation that you get
Same way you treat everyone
You used to know like sh**
High achieving like they all say that you are
But you and I both know
Who sets that bar, don't we?
We can't see through
The shrouds we don't notice
So replay the sequence
We're playing buzzword
Make-believe again
Just to get ahead
And we say pathological liar
Like it's something rare
We tiptoe through the restaurants
Waiting on each other
The only way to show we care
And everything's going according
To an age-old plan
Tag-alongs righting wrongs
We join indifferent hands
And we say pathological liar
Like it's something rare
And you can paint over guilty
But it's starting to show
And I want you to know (and I want you to know)
That measuring stick
Broke a long time ago
