Armac - Facsimile lyrics

[Verse 1] The alerts blaze popularity and I accept the call I've nearly infiltrated them, nearly smashed the wall The coveted position to be in The next phase of the mission can begin [Chorus] I'm mimicking your phrases, I'm dressing in your clothes But I seem just as different, I'm not even f**ing close To gaining the prestige that you've inherited I swear to god I'll show you that I've merited [Verse 2] I scramble to discover the origin of the alert That my pale imitation attempts to convert I'll commit to memory every recording Quickly now, the crowds are always boarding [Chorus] I'm learning what you like, I'm learning what you don't Until you run out of excuses why you won't Let me join your ranks let me just belong I'm starting work to fit in, I'm starting with this song [Bridge] And it works! I gain acceptance One of the upper echelon Poised to move so far beyond I calm down, I've been befriended I've left my isolation cell My orange tether's served me well [Verse 3] The alert is tossed so carelessly and I forget To see my surroundings not just the silhouette I sink into comfort and close my eyes And soon I'm dragged out of the cave, what a surprise [Chorus] I'm all alone again, the tribe's abandoned me And there's no signs or trails of crumbs, as far as I can see So this is how the world works? Cut loose by a two-faced guide This informs my new strategy: hide hide hide [Outro] And I learn, I can't accept this People are unreadable My progress so impedable I retreat, I've been so foolish I'll wait for others to approach Lest my presence will encroach I will wait, I will wait Surely one day I can trust And I'll move on, I surely must I will wait I will wait
