will you walk straight?
we're not like them
to pull them in, make it seem like your in trouble
make a sound, fake it enough.
what made you so scared?
maybe your mistaken for someone who cares

if you remember, remember
i've been trying to get back to the center
i'm sure it's not like it was before

to make them drink, tell them that it's only water
no one leaves 'till we figure this out
what made you so scared?
maybe your mistaken for someone who cares

if you remember, remember
i've been trying to get back to the center
i'm sure it's not like it was before

patience
both we and our words are over produced by influence
by influence
patience
both we and our words are over produced by influence
by influence
by influence

i'm only asking if you remember, remember
i've been trying to get back to the center
and i'm sure it's not like it was.

    My Interpretation

    "Patience... both we and our words are overproduced by influence."

    it may have been said before, but this part really suggests to me the idea that people are generally really worried about what other people think of them and what they say (the "influence" of others).

    This is obviously a negative comment on this and I see the "patience" bit as saying that one needs patience in order to put up with this kind of thing. When this album came out I was 16 or 17 (can't remember) and this idea particularly resonated with me disliking quite a lot of what I saw around me in school.
