It's best this mess is part of the plan The truth is moving under the ground
You're sure the steering wheel Is resting in your hands
Tough to say
You think success belongs to the bank You take directions into the skin
An ancient motor revving up To keep it living on
Strings tied to the hands Hands upon a mouth
Sneaky ways
The path is written before the act A mode of growing seems like a choice
It feels like progress Is a product of a hidden game
What obeys
You measure hits by stuff in the house It's more sincerely smiles on the face
The instinct leads you if you do Or if you don't want
Tackle on a neck Trapped within the ring
Tough to say What obeys Sneaky ways Sneaky ways
