Lyrics

The following lyrics have yet to be made official:

    I'm not man enough to be human
    But I'm trying to fit in
    And I'm learning to
    Fake it
    
    Don't ever meet their friends
    It tells you too much
    Or not enough
    Or worse
    Exactly the wrong thing
    Every nuance
    Every detail
    Every movement
    Every smell
    Sound
    Phrase
    Inflection
    The way she laughs
    These are the things that you either obsessively fetishize
    Or make yourself grow to love
    Although you are supposed to be done growing
    She is still growing
    Its like a garden with two flowers
    One just blooming and casting a shadow
    Just like yours
    And then it becomes a struggle
    Of sunlight
    Or rain
    Or weeds
    She and every she
    Is doomed to be your idea of her
    She and every she
    Is doomed to be your idea of her
    
    I'm not man enough to be human
    But I'm trying to fit in
    And I'm learning to
    Fa fa fa fake it
    
    But worse so,
    Back to the point
    You are no longer the flower
    And the sun
    And most importantly the garden
    Or the gardener
    A muse
    Your amusement
    I am used
    Its all ruined if you meet their friends
    
    She and every she
    Is doomed to be your idea of her
    I'm not man enough to be human
    But I'm trying to fit in
    And I'm learning to 
    Fa fa fa fa fake it
    Fa fa fa fa fake it
    Fa fa fa fa fake it
    Ffffffffffffffake it
    
    You never wanted 
    To share
    Your concept of your creation
    With any other gods or worshippers
    Your book isn't burned
    It was never written
    Your book isn't burned
    It was never written
    
    I'm not man enough to be human
    But I'm trying to fit in
    And I'm learning to 
    Fa fa fa fa fake it
    Fa fa fa fa fake it
    Fa fa fa fa fake it
    Fa fa fa fa fake it
    Ffffffffffffffake it
