do you believe in God?
I think I do today
I saw him in the darkness and he scoffed at me
"you've been so bad, they oughta put you down"
"you've been so bad, they oughta put you down"
where our perceptions intersect
I was thrashing like an insect
and I wanna be someone who knows better than that
I leave windows like they're doors
new humans on all fours
and I wanna be someone who walks better than that
please be decent I've been trying to do by you right
disappointment paints your actions and you'll find
no tangible control of the wake you're left in
no damage to the hull but you find you're sinking
I've been trying to be wise
but I need a new enemy
when I stand still I can't breathe
I need a new enemy
lay my pride down beside me
where our perceptions intersect
I was thrashing like an insect
and I wanna be someone who knows better than that
I leave windows like they're doors
new humans on all fours
and I wanna be someone who walks better than that
you've been so bad, they oughta put you down
you've been so bad
