You say you know love, but you are just reflecting words you hear No iron in your veins could 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 have 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
