Symmetries

It was oh, so easy to be confused
Live by the book or don't, you wouldn't be excused
A price you pay to win a game, just to be
More than once on the outside looking in

I grew up in a city of perfect squares
(It was all I knew)
Blacks and whites and ones and zeroes
(Oh, I could swear to you)
If you didn't know what to do
Just pick a path, You know it's laid out for you
But this isn't what I knew

I don't know what you mean when you say be yourself
Oh to think I lost my way

Let me be
This symmetry
Let me be
This symmetry

Is it in style yet to be asymmetrical?
I could use it, I'd be less critical
Tell me how to stop
Worrying about these things
They don't matter

How could I let the world see this freaking mess?
Oh to think I'd gone astray

This symmetry is wearing me down don't you see?
This symmetry is not where I can be
Let me be, I'm not life of the party
This symmetry is wearing me down, don't you see?
Let me be
This symmetry
Let me be
This symmetry

Call me weird
Call me pretty
Say I've changed
Say it's unlike me
Call me weird
Call me pretty
Say it's strange
Say it's crazy

But this symmetry is wearing me down, don't you see?
This symmetry is not where I can be
Oh let me be, I'm not life of the party
Surrender morning symmetries are surrounding

This symmetry is wearing down on me
We're a strange little breed, don't you see
This symmetry is wearing me down, don't you see
So say I look my best in my asymmetry
Let me be
Symmetry
Let me be
