Thank you modern medicine for the state I'm in
The pill that passed my lips
Collided with going through the motions
Remember it's a cut and paste life
With connect the dot lies
Beating to a four four time

And if it's out of sight, well then it's out of mind
Or is it faith that lets us sleep at night?

When the voice of reason tells you
That there's nothing left to believe in
And sometimes you have to stop and believe it

If it's only print on paper
And happiness is bought and paid for
Maybe it's only faith that shapes us day to day
If it's only words on paper
And salvation is bought and paid for
Maybe it's only faith that takes who you've became
Shakes you awake, keeps you living for today

Thank you old traditions for the life I lived
the rules that passed your lips
They made me miss living to the fullest
Remember it's a cut and paste life
With connect the dot lies
Walking through my metronome life

And if it's out of sight, well then it's out of mind
Or is it faith that lets us sleep at night?

When the voice of reason tells you
That there's nothing left to believe in
And sometimes you have to stop and believe it

If it's only print on paper
And happiness is bought and paid for
Maybe it's only faith that shapes us day to day
If it's only words on paper
And salvation is bought and paid for
Maybe it's only faith that takes who you've became
Shakes you awake, keeps you living for today

Is it the blind leading the blind?
Is it the invisible ties
that bind your hands and shut your eyes?
Is it what you fear on the outside
that keeps you turning on your insides?
Is it a sign?
It's you doing what you think is right?
Are you doing what you think is right?

If it's only print on paper
And happiness is bought and paid for
Maybe it's only faith that shapes us day to day
If it's only words on paper
And salvation is bought and paid for
Maybe it's only faith that takes who you've became
Shakes you awake, keeps you living for today
