Have you ever died in a nightmare?

Woke up surprised you haven't earned your fate?

Have you ever felt like Atlas, threw your back out on the axis and collapsed and threw the planet away?

Everyone's just blood in an ice tray

A vampire picking flowers out in the sun

Run your diagnostic tests, it's posited, nobody dies agnostic but we still dial 9-1-1

Now we're singing


Ooh, could you take a look at me?

(It's the norm for animals, it's the norm for chemicals)

Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad?

(It's the norm for particles, eye for eye for tooth)

And now we're singing

Ooh, whatever you think of me

(It's the norm for chemicals, it's the norm for particles)

If you were in my shoes, you'd walk the same damn miles I do

(Yes, it's only natural)


We're only tuning to the tone of the bell curve now ask for whom it tolls

But with my head up in the clouds, I can see so much ground and from up here you look like ants in a row

It doesn't take a killer to murder

It only takes a reason to kill

We've all got evidence of innocence, it's "everything's coincidence"

The difference twixt fate and free will

Is whether your singing


Ooh, could you take a look at me?

(It's the norm for animals, it's the norm for chemicals)

Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad?

(It's the norm for particles, eye for eye for tooth)

And now we're singing

Ooh, whatever you think of me

(It's the norm for chemicals, it's the norm for particles)

If you were in my shoes, you'd walk the same damn miles I do

(Yes, it's only natural)

Somebody help me! WOO!


So if you wash your hands of where you've been until you flood the second floor

Neatly fold your skeletons but still can't shut the closet door

The only ones in need of love are those who don't receive enough

So evil ones should get a little more


Ooh, could you take a look at me?

(You could break an angel's fall, and ignore the Devil's call)

Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad?

(Still forsaken shoulders fall silent now)

And now we're singing

Ooh, whatever you think of me

(It's no more cultural, you and me inseparable)

If the shoe fits would you walk that mile? You could put it on the same foot, it's the same size

(It's a small hell, after all)
