What do you get when you build up your walls
And you find that the pieces don't match up
You will see as they grow up tall
The higher you go the farther you fall
T.E.T.R.I.S.!
Why do we build the overpowering need to
Fight these incongruenties
Seems to me we'll continue the struggle
In this way eternally
When you wake from the american dream
And find you no longer fit the mold
Suddenly you're dead to the world
And you've been left out in the cold
When you think you've won
You will disappear
And when you are wrong
You will be dead and gone
And you find that the pieces don't match up
You will see as they grow up tall
The higher you go the farther you fall
T.E.T.R.I.S.!
Why do we build the overpowering need to
Fight these incongruenties
Seems to me we'll continue the struggle
In this way eternally
When you wake from the american dream
And find you no longer fit the mold
Suddenly you're dead to the world
And you've been left out in the cold
When you think you've won
You will disappear
And when you are wrong
You will be dead and gone
