Button your shirt
Straighten your tie
You got the world coming down on your shoulders
Step in your shoes but not out the door
Spare yourself yet another disease
You spend your days alone
Afraid of a fear you can never define
So sharpen your knife and put on your coat
Now you're ready
There's no use in breaking codes if the answer's not what you need
There's no truth to what you know if you can't see what you believe
You're not a clone
You know yourself like a brother
The little details only drive you out of your mind
It's never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same
You classify and you categorise or else succumb to the depths of disorder
You've got the fire but you can't see the light
You burned you hands at the shrine of defeat
You spend your days alone
Afraid of a fear you can never define
So take shower cos you leave in an hour
Now it's over
There's no use in breaking codes if the answer's not what you need
There's no truth to what you know if you can't see what you believe
You're not a clone
You know yourself like a brother
The little details only drive you out of your mind
It's never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same
You don't have to remind me I got no grace
You don't have to remind me it's not the same
You don't have to remind me I got no grace
You don't have to remind me it's never gonna be the same
There's no use in breaking codes if the answer's not what you need
There's no truth to what you know if you can't see what you believe
You're not a clone
You know yourself like a brother
The little details only drive you out of your mind
It's never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same
