I'm searching for the words   To try to find a way   To let you in on what's happening      Without question, the worst impression   That I could've entertained   Deceitful, how we dance in   These circles and if you listen   Close enough      Doesn't it feel   Like a broken record slicing through the skin   The sound   Has been overplayed and overrated      But the dance sure takes a long time, don't it?   We go round and round   Forget the heart, the light, the scene, the stage, the sound you know we're all on   Display   I guess the powers that be will see it's time to make a decision   And if you listen close enough      Doesn't it feel   Like a broken record slicing through the skin   The sound   Has been overplayed and overrated   Don't I exist   To satisfy you   Or satisfy nothing   I'm right here   And I'm hoping to be something that means something to somebody at all      But it's the same   old   song   and dance   And it's the same   Re-   sults      It's the same old song, same old song, same old song   Doesn't it feel   Like a broken record, a broken record   I exist   To satisfy you   Or satisfy nothing   Fear steers progress   But right now   I'm hoping to be something that means something to somebody at all      But it's the same   old   song
