The Faint – Syntax Lies lyrics

Understand, I don't care if I meet
And you don't care if we meet
It's just conversation
We're not so compatible
But at least we know and we don't care

Syntax lies
No difference in art and life
Just what we said
And in order the words go
The order, they go

It's time we needed an end to this
Why not, wouldn't that make us laugh?
And discover how we used to speak

Concepts of language around these wastes
Why wouldn't we mention how it hurts?
And discover how we used to speak


Going backwards
Overlapping
Oh, tomorrow
More something
Than this ticket
For religion
But the truth unfolds

We devote it (syntax lies)
Without knowing (they say it's dark)
Saying "nightmare" (they say it's light)
And "stoning"(just what they say is confusing )
Just the name and the way that the words go
(try the dark glass blow)

Grammar, it's comedic
We're corrected
We need to stop light division
To the next calendar

It's time we needed an end to this
Why not, wouldn't that make us laugh?
And discover how we used to speak

Concepts of language around these wastes
Why wouldn't we mention how it hurts?
And discover how we used to speak

Discover how we used to speak

(I'm scared
It's just conversation
But in the window
It's how
I really feel)
