[Verse 1]
Oh, it's so easy
When parts take over
My conversation
Is nothing more than lies

[Verse 2]
You're just the viewer
So cold and distant
I've no intentions
Of saying "I love you"

[Chorus]
My conversation
My conversation
My conversation
My conversation

[Verse 3]
And we are not gods
And we are not men
And we are not making claims
We are only boys

[Verse 4]
And you are not strong
And you are not force
And you are not regular
You are just wrong

[Verse 5]
There are no faces
This is my complex
You are my picture
I call you "mirrors"

[Verse 6]
These are not my tears
Not my reflection
Am I a photo?
I can't remember

[Chorus]
My conversation
My conversation
My conversation
My conversation
My conversation
My conversation
My conversation
My conversation
My conversation
My conversation
My conversation
