You look just like the real thing
And you act like it, that's true
But the truth is far from perfect
Now it always gets confused
Still trying hard to fake it
Though there's nothing to deny
And when you're held beneath the light it seems
We can see through your disguise
Carbon copy all the traits you need
As the lines form steady while you stop to plead
Nothing but a reason for the thoughts you keep
You're just a carbon copy of the things you need
There's something said for honesty
But the subject passes through
You're still craving admiration
With the reasons misconstrued
Pretending you know sacrifice
Though we still aren't so convinced
Now you act like you belong here
But your actions make us sick
Carbon copy all the traits you need
As the lines form steady while you stop to plead
Nothing but a reason for the thoughts you keep
You're just a carbon copy of the things you need
You're just a carbon copy of the things you need
I seem to hear the sounds and all the words keep coming out
But nothing spoken from your mouth could even make much sense at all
Are you still pacing through the halls?
You look just like the real thing
And you act like it, that's true
But the truth is far from perfect
Now it always gets confused
And it's all because of you
It happens all because of you
Ain't that the truth?
Carbon copy all the traits you need
As the lines form steady while you stop to plead
Nothing but a reason for the thoughts you keep
You're just a carbon copy of the things you need
Carbon copy, you're a carbon copy
You're a carbon copy of the things you need
