lyrics
am I repeating, repeating myself everyday
or have I been changing in some imperceptible way
is effort lost, I feel like a slave
to patterns lived so long they’re engraved
tired of the incremental flow
I need a drink and a plan of attack
to bend myself in another way
to work this plastic mind like fresh clay
a new mold, new electrical map
new emotional ground, I wish to adapt
I wish to adapt
in every encounter I know what I’ll do, what I’ll say
the way that I process is unable to go astray, though I try
I’m living locked, pressed at the cage
of my own rhythms, my DNA
how am I supposed to fill this need to grow
I gotta find me a magic cap
to bend myself in another way
to work this plastic mind like fresh clay
a new mold, new electrical map
new emotional ground, I wish to adapt
and bend myself in another way
to work this plastic mind like fresh clay
a new mold, new electrical map
new emotional ground, I wish to adapt
I wish to adapt, I wish to adapt
am I repeating, repeating myself everyday
or have I been changing in some imperceptible way, I can’t tell
is effort lost, I feel like a slave
to patterns lived so long they’re engraved
tired of the incremental flow, tired of the incremental flow
tired of the incremental flow, tired of the incremental flow
to bend myself in another way
to work this plastic mind like fresh clay
a new mold, new electrical map
new emotional ground, someone gimme a slap
to bend myself in another way
to work this plastic mind like fresh clay
a new mold, new electrical map
new emotional ground, I wish to adapt
I wish to adapt, I wish to adapt
I wish to adapt, I wish to adapt
I wish, I wish to adapt
I wish, I wish to adapt
I wish
or have I been changing in some imperceptible way
is effort lost, I feel like a slave
to patterns lived so long they’re engraved
tired of the incremental flow
I need a drink and a plan of attack
to bend myself in another way
to work this plastic mind like fresh clay
a new mold, new electrical map
new emotional ground, I wish to adapt
I wish to adapt
in every encounter I know what I’ll do, what I’ll say
the way that I process is unable to go astray, though I try
I’m living locked, pressed at the cage
of my own rhythms, my DNA
how am I supposed to fill this need to grow
I gotta find me a magic cap
to bend myself in another way
to work this plastic mind like fresh clay
a new mold, new electrical map
new emotional ground, I wish to adapt
and bend myself in another way
to work this plastic mind like fresh clay
a new mold, new electrical map
new emotional ground, I wish to adapt
I wish to adapt, I wish to adapt
am I repeating, repeating myself everyday
or have I been changing in some imperceptible way, I can’t tell
is effort lost, I feel like a slave
to patterns lived so long they’re engraved
tired of the incremental flow, tired of the incremental flow
tired of the incremental flow, tired of the incremental flow
to bend myself in another way
to work this plastic mind like fresh clay
a new mold, new electrical map
new emotional ground, someone gimme a slap
to bend myself in another way
to work this plastic mind like fresh clay
a new mold, new electrical map
new emotional ground, I wish to adapt
I wish to adapt, I wish to adapt
I wish to adapt, I wish to adapt
I wish, I wish to adapt
I wish, I wish to adapt
I wish
