Grease the wheels
Prime the pump
Grit my teeth
Raise it up

Feels like I am holding the whole world up
But I'm scared to let you all down
Feels like I am holding this whole thing up
And I can't risk letting you all down

Assembly line
Adding steps (Adds more steps)
Foreman cares
Even less

Feels like I am holding the whole world up
But I'm scared to let you all down
Feels like I am holding this whole thing up
And I can't risk letting you all down

You've been reaching out. 
You've been dousing me in faith
I've been swatting you away

You've been holding on
Hold me darling now
And I hope you won't walk away

Feels like I am holding the whole world up
But I'm scared to let you all down
Feels like I am holding this whole thing up
And I can't risk letting you all down

Strangers

I needed a friend, and you disappeared
Where did you go?

Subjectively real, the doctor said
Did they take you again?

You open your eyes, but you can't see
Your friends and family

Those strangers, they changed you
Told you that they'd save you from yourself.
They probed you, trying to find you
But you had left, you had left again

The time before, you made up this line
Reptilians and bright lights

And I understand, it's easier than
Accepting the end 

Those strangers, they changed you
Told you they'd save you from yourself.
They probed you, trying to find you
But you had left
