You say you know love but you are just reflecting words you hear
No iron in your veins could ever give you a sense of pain or fear
It's just another lie, it's just another calculation
And when the power's out we're just another old sensation
This bread keeps me alive but what is it that runs through you
Electricity and wires dictating everything you do
You tell me that you hear me and all your memories are real
But how do i know you don't just feel what you've been told to feel?
We run around the rules, we run around the rules,
We run around the rules
Round and round, two by two, we run around the rules
There's water in your eyes and i know i'm the reason that's there
But still i don't feel bad because i know that you have more to spare
And just behind your eyes are switches that can turn back on
To clear away today 'til all your memories are gone
We run around the rules, we run around the rules,
We run around the rules
Round and round, two by two, we run around the rules
We run around the rules, we run around the rules,
We run around the rules, we run around the rules
Round and round, two by two, we run around the rules
