lyrics

Maybe it's all just a game
Maybe it's nature's design
Maybe we're all just machines; cogs in a panel increasing in speed

And I, well I take it in stride

So stop counting the ways that I have let you down
And start counting the days til I won't be around
Cause I am nothing but a complicated thief with some sense of irony
And like a stranger in a dream, could you please for get me?

Can I ask you a question, what am I still doing here?
With this foot in my mouth, it removes any doubt
That when that clock strikes midnight I'll be heading out.

I've used that line at least a thousand times and I meant it every time
So just take it in stride

So stop counting the ways that I have let you down
And start counting the days til I won't be around
Cause I am nothing but a complicated thief with some sense of irony
And like a stranger in a dream, could you please for get me?

Looking for the forest through the trees, would you please forget me?
Nothing but a complicated thief with some sense of majesty
And like a stranger in a dream, would you please forget me?
