You say you know love but you are just reflecting words you hear

No iron in your veins to give you any sense of pain or fear

It's just another lie it's just another calculation

And when the power's out we're just another old sensation

This blood keeps me alive but what is it that runs through you

Electricity and wires dictating everything you do

You tell me that you hear me and all your memories are real

But how do I know you don't just feel what you've been told to feel

We run around the rules

We run around the rules

We run around the rules

Round and round two by two we run around the rules

There's water in your eyes and I know i'm the reason that it's there

But still I don't feel bad because I know that you've more to spare

And just behind your eyes are switches that can turn back on

To clear away today 'til all your memories are gone

We run around the rules

We run around the rules

We run around the rules

Round and round two by two we run around the rules

We run around the rules

We run around the rules

We run around the rules

We run around the rules

Round and round two by two we run around the rules
