The Faint - Syntax Lies lyrics

Understand, I don't care if I meet you
And you don't care if we meet
It's just conversation
We're not so compatible but at least we know
And we don't care

Syntax lies no difference in art and life
Just what we say and the order the words go
It's time, we've needed an aggravist
One that wouldn't make us laugh
And has severed how we used to speak
Concepts of language around his waist
But more dimensionally versed
He has severed how we used to speak
Call it backwards overlapping
Ultramodern more slowly
They mistook it for religion
But the truth unfolds we de-vo (Syntax lies)
Without knowing same language = same story
(No difference in art and life)
The new version (Just what we say)
Is confusing
Sharp tongue (And the order the words go)
Glass blood

Grammar, it's comedic we're corrected
We need a
Stoplight division to the next calendar
(year)

It's time, we've needed an aggravist
One that wouldn't make us laugh
And has severed how we used to speak
Concepts of language around his waist
But more dimensionally versed
He has severed how we used to speak
I understand it's just conversation
But it eliminates how I really feel
