Moths in a Lampshade lyrics

[Verse 1]
Moths in a lampshade
Passwords and handshakes
Slang words and codes that no one else can translate
Stale incandescence
Sways the consensus
Changing the locks
Contaminating common sense

[Chorus]
You
Sized up the world and thought it'd fit right in your hands
You
You are the first to know but the last to understand

[Verse 2]
Guarding the entrance
Hand down the sentence
Desperately searching for a point of contention
Copy your answers, practice your banter
Half-truths embraced as fact
Wrapped in double standards

[Bridge]
Everybody wants to know the secret
Everybody wants to know
But you won't reveal the secret password
Keep regressing backwards
Keep regressing backwards
Keep regressing backwards
[Chorus]
You
You sized up the world and thought it'd fit right in your hands
You
You are the first to know but last to understand
