The timing of the verses is a little weird. In the first verse the first line has 5 measures of Asus2 
(3 before you start singing), the second has 3 measures, and the third has 2 measures. In the second 
it's 4:2:2. However, I've seen it be 4:3:2 3:2:2 in live videos instead of the 5:3:2 4:2:2 on the 
recording, I imagine he just kinda starts singing when he wants and the band follows his lead.

Shooting the sequel before the treatment's even finished
Sanding numbers off the monojects as our slight returns diminish
We are what we are, get in the god damn car
Smiling faces flawlessly rehearsed
We are sleek and beautiful, we are cursed
Ready for the future
Ready for the world about to come
