Paper City - Thousand Yard Stare Lyrics

She sits in mindless content
Because she's learned what you and I can't
She's trapped inside her own mind
Subject to what we can't define
Her eyes are voided and wide
Her hands are clasped concrete at her side
Through blissful will she begins
To smile under the stasis that she's in

Her thoughts are astonishing
'Cause she knows everything
To her the answers seems to appear
To her everything is clear

But is she there
Her thousand yard stare
Yeah now that she bears only shows us that we're unaware
Yeah is she there

There are no words to explain
Her mind it wonders to where most would refrain
The stoic grin on her face
Slowly fades from tears as she starts to say
Oh why can't
We all align
Oh we all need
To all rely
On the one thing we all have in common that's true
Inside us all that grants us wisdom and views

But is she there
Her thousand yard stare
Yeah now that she bears only shows us that we're unaware
Yeah is she there

No one really knows
What we could really be
Time forever flows
Down a river we'll never see
While we live
Subject to hypocrisy
Find time
To choose what you believe
