  • Patterns in the words we say
    I see patterns and how the sunlight scatters
    And what the radio plays
    Patterns in a world of gray 'n' blind circumstance
    The more I look I see patterns
    Even in the way Ian Curtis danced

    And when they get to the end, they begin again
    But this is not the end
    All these patterns within more patterns
    Hiding in plain sight, year after year
    On my window, frost flowers appear
    Like when my eyes are blind, but my heart still sees
    I'm staring at scars that no one else believes
    And how something hidden can grow suddenly so clear
    The way a promise breaks and outta nowhere, another appears

    Patterns in the games we play
    I see patterns
    The way a broken heart shatters
    And Jackson Pollock paints
    Patterns in a world of strays and loneliness
    Where young people cry and old people kiss
    I still see patterns
    Even where they don't exist

    And when we get to the end, we'll begin again
    Ah, but this is not the end
    All our patterns hiding in plain sight, year after year
    Thinner than sliced shadows
    And vanishing, faster than Irish sunshine

    Patterns in the games we play
    I see patterns
    The way a broken heart shatters
    And Jackson Pollock paints
    Patterns in a world of strays and loneliness
    Where young people cry and old people kiss
    I still see patterns
    Even where they don't exist

    Patterns
    Patterns
    Patterns
    Patterns
    Patterns
    Patterns
    Patterns
