Automaton

Creeping around like I don't know something's wrong
You play like you're fine so I'll play along
I feel so useless, don't know what to do
So I guess I'll keep tiptoeing all around you

Tell me I wouldn't understand and you're right
The same things don't keep us up at night
Tossing and turning, you tell me that you're good
So I don't dig into it like I know I should

Wish the strings on my hands would move faster
Wish the cog in my back would spin
Wish the gears in my head would move faster, oh
Wish I had more to offer than sin

But sin's all I have to offer you, honey
And lights out love and some food and money
I can't promise I'll hear you but I promise that I'll try
Until then I'll keep on tiptoeing by

You tell me I wouldn't understand and you're right
We've got our own paths to finding secondhand light
But I don't mind stepping into the dark for you
Just as long as you tell me what it is I'm supposed to do

Wish the strings on my hands would move faster
Wish the cog in my back would spin
Wish the gears in my head would move faster, oh
Wish I had more to offer than sin
