Syntax Lies - The Faint

Understand, I don’t care if I meet you

And you don’t care if we meet

It’s just conversation

We’re not so compatible

But at least we know

And we don’t care

Syntax lies

No difference in art and life

Just what we say

And the order the words go

It’s time, we’ve needed an aggravist

One that wouldn’t make us laugh

And has severed how we used to speak

Concepts of language around his waist

But more dimensionally versed

He has severed how we used to speak

Call it backwards

Overlapping

Ultramodern

More slowly

They mistook it

For religion

But the truth unfolds

We de-vo (Syntax lies)

Without knowing

Same language = same story (No difference in art and life)

The new version (Just what we say)

Is confusing

Sharp tongue (And the order the words go)

Glass blood

Grammar, it’s comedic

We’re corrected

We need a

Stoplight division to the next calendar (year)

It’s time, we’ve needed an aggravist

One that wouldn’t make us laugh

And has severed how we used to speak

Concepts of language around his waist

But more dimensionally versed

He has severed how we used to speak

I understand it’s just conversation

But it eliminates how I really feel
