You wait for another opportunity to speak
He looks for another way to bank
Same affirmation that you get
Same way you treat everyone you used to know like s***
High achieving like they all say that you are
But you and I both know who sets that bar
Don't we
We can't see through the shrouds we don't notice
So replay the sequence
We're playing buzzword make-believe again
Just to get ahead
And we say pathological liar
Like it's something rare
We tiptoe through the restaurants waiting on each other
The only way to show we care
And everything's going according to an age-old master plan
Tagalongs righting wrongs, we join indifferent hands
And we say pathological liar like it's something rare
And you can paint over guilty but it's starting to show
And I want you to know
That measuring stick broke a long time ago
He looks for another way to bank
Same affirmation that you get
Same way you treat everyone you used to know like s***
High achieving like they all say that you are
But you and I both know who sets that bar
Don't we
We can't see through the shrouds we don't notice
So replay the sequence
We're playing buzzword make-believe again
Just to get ahead
And we say pathological liar
Like it's something rare
We tiptoe through the restaurants waiting on each other
The only way to show we care
And everything's going according to an age-old master plan
Tagalongs righting wrongs, we join indifferent hands
And we say pathological liar like it's something rare
And you can paint over guilty but it's starting to show
And I want you to know
That measuring stick broke a long time ago
