Choreography by Cire Lyrics

Choreography. Paint by numbers
Exchange hollow greetings with someone who'll do the same
Smile appropriately for the right kinds of people
With the right kinds of capital, financial or social

Craft your character, rehearse your performance
See which you sells the best and reinforce habits
Walk to the altar, read from the prompter
Smile for your picture, and clap like a seal

Is everyone looking at me?
Are they nodding their heads in approval?
Does this convince you? It never convinced me... it never convinced me

Years don't teach anything if you're not listening...
Or plugging your ears with bargain priced fantasies that are cheap to adopt
But will surely break down right when you need a real understanding

Choreography. Don't think critically
It's all been figured out for you, and nothing means anything
Is everyone looking at me?
Are they nodding their heads in approval?
Does this convince you? It never convinced me... it never convinced me

Is everyone looking at me?
Are they nodding their heads in approval?
Does this convince you? It never convinced me... it never convinced me
