Obsolete

It's hard to feel obsolete

It's hard to feel your skirts are showing

You pull and tug to hide the works

That keep the whole thing going

And you don't know where you stand

And you feel so small and thin

And if you are dismissed

Will another take you in?

Walking through a hall of doors

Looking through a million portals

Everyone is having fun

Everybody seems immortal

And you don't know where you stand

And did something pass you by?

And if you are dismissed

Will you get another try?

Are you and I an apparition

Flickering up on the screen

Sending out our best transmissions

Waiting in our velveteen

Tell me you can really see me

It's hard to feel disqualified

For living in a different time

As if the train will only stop

For the current paradigm

And I don't know where we are

Are we passing through these wires

Are we walking through the streets

Of invisible empires

And I know I shouldn't care

If I'm out or if I'm in

Cause if I am dismissed

Oh you always take me in
