Call them by their name
And they'll show you they can
Give you an answer but only pretend
That they know what's best
Just keep breathing and they'll assure us
It's easier to say that we don't care
When we should've cared
And there's comfort in avoiding conflict
Be comfortably unaware
All we know with all we had
We act the part rather than listen
Open the door and let me in
For the sake of this, let's do our best
If everything falls out of line
Do things in the background force their way?
And start to demand attention aside from, aside from ourselves?
It's harder to complain
When you didn't care
When you should've cared
And finding peace in your perfect circle
As you quietly sit and stare
All we know with all we had
We act the part rather than listen
Open the door and let me in
For the sake of this, let's do our best
Call them by their name
And they'll show you they can
Give you an answer but only pretend
That they know what's best
Just keep breathing and they'll assure us
All we know with all we had
We act the part rather than listen
Open the door and let me in
For the sake of this, let's do our best
Open the door
