Lyrics

i’ve been testing these replacement parts
they didn’t come with a label, and i’m not sure they’re able
to get us any further than we already are

so i just operate without instruction-
and it’s knowing that ceiling, that keeps you from feeling
the worst when you choose pain over function

and you’ve been choosing pain over function…

and i’ve been ignoring these replacement costs
but how do you look away, when you hear someone say-
why don’t we start with that list of things you’ve lost?

so i move forward without doing the math
a delicate process, when you’re just trying to know less
and working so hard to avoid looking back

how do you avoid looking back??

i’ve been dreaming of replacement days-
time i’ll reclaim- and strength i can regain…
and i’ll find new purpose in some new way

so i’ll fill those spaces, and leave no gaps
i know there’s no real plan, but it’s just better to feel than-
to be stranded and lost here with no map

you’ve been stranded here with no map-

and so i guess i’ll just rely on these replacement parts
i’ll pray that they’re stable, and this is what they’re made for-
it was rough to get going, but i’m ready to start

i’m ready to start.
