Story behind the song

The concept of the song is anti-stereotype. An omitted line is, "don't put yourself in parentheses". As in, don't limit yourself because of how others perceive you. Pretty basic, but it's catchy so whatever eh?

UPDATE: Wow, we just realized our singer pinched part of the verse melody from Green Day. Good God, that's just one of the myriad improvements to be awaited in the next recording section.

Lyrics

Sometimes it's easier 
To deal with you as a footnote
Collected actions and reactions
Ready at a moment's glance
Sometimes I can forget you're a person
When you talk in lyric lines
It's so mechanical sometimes
You can't fool me


There's so much more possible 
Than you will ever know

I have no illusions that these 
Lines are remotely romantic
For a time I tried and failed
And have no desire to do that shit again
You have potential that is leaking
Through that exterior of a
Hardcore girl with no philosophy
It's kinda hard to see
What you never show

There's so much more possible
Than you will ever know

You can't fool me
You can't fool me
There's so much more possible 
Than you will ever know

I've been where you've been before
Walked these dirty streets
And wound up crawling on the floor
Come join me in my little circle
Where innocence is treasured
And forever is adored

You can't fool me
You can't fool me
There's so much more possible
Than you will ever know
