Claim Me

Lately I have been noticing 
  That this other life 
  Does not revolve around 
  A silly war dream 
  I have been 
  Living underneath 
  And everything I'm meant to hear 
  Is not making sense anymore 

  Get up on me 
  Get down on me 
  I know you'll never claim me 

  All these years 
  Spent internally 
  Trapped under the wheels 
  Which would only spin 
  For the outside's needs 
  All so indiscreet 
  And then supposedly 
  All fell incomplete 
  I began to breathe 
  And then the grid fell in 
  So now the patience leaks 
  Time to switch the film 
  Capture a brand new scene 
  But now they start to sneer 
  So it's about time I warned 
  The disinterested: 

  Get up on me 
  Get down on me 
  I know you'll never claim me 

  But all that flesh 
  Rips through like a shockwave 
  The flash of eyes 
  Brighter than a nuclear sunrise 
  You always had to be artificial 
  You always had to shine your floodlights past me 

  I am not all I'm supposed to be 
  In fact I'm under the impression that they all agree 
  But yet they keep it sealed 
  Underneath their grins 
  Until I wander past 
  Dragging this insecurity 
  But all they want to see 
  Is a pretentious glee 
  And that's quite fine by me 
  Whatever helps it spin 
  It's just a script, you see 
  That functions independently 
  Of one's unique identity 
  Promptly spit out by the social grid 

  Was that too much to take in? 
  This should be easier: 
  Get off of me 
  I know you'll never claim me 

  But all that flesh 
  Rips through like a shockwave 
  The flash of eyes 
  Brighter than an nuclear sunrise 
  And I just wish I was artificial 
  So I could reach out and mute 
  This swollen silence 

  Just step aside 
  Let it all slide 
  You are the outside
