V1: I want my bones to crack I wanna be too hot Permit any attack Be it minor or not   When will the day come When I push too hard Realize true form Or end up scarred   C1: I may be different In the bad way            That gives me no right To do and to say All those terrible things The terrible things I do    My claws buried, deep  Into my palms Blood flowing free Psalms 79:3   V2: See all minor acts As an enormous offense All my victories Call for indifference   My world feels small  As small as it is And when I push out I feel no resistance   C2: You may be different In the good way But that gives you no right To do and to say All those terrible things  The terrible things you do   My claws buried, deep  Into my palms Blood flowing free Psalms 79:3   B: They call me poison Because I am poison. I am the rash Feel proud of your treason No meaningless task Completed without frisson No minor distraction Ignored no matter the reason   I am the poison And I will leave None left to bury the dead   C3: I may be bad In the good way But that gives me no right To do and to say All those terrible things  The terrible things I do   My claws buried, deep  Into my palms Blood flowing free Psalms 79:3

Intro: Some day I’ll die And if I don’t  So much the worse, so much the worse   V1: I was finite In a probably finite world But now that’s changed The rest of my life before me unfurled   Are we alive Or just loaning life from god And paying our debt by falling in love and losing it all    Ca: In a million billion years Our planet won’t still be here Will I   Cb: I’ve got powers beyond imagination  More than mere prestidigitation  But how far will I go To reinvent myself    I keep all the things I don’t want outside in No such thing as a perfect prison Use all the silver you want Nothing at all will help   V2: Was I bit Or was I born this way I’ll need new clothes new shoes And a new sobriquet   Am I the wolf Or am I really just the man Where do I stop and where does he start And when will it end

V1:
I want my bones to crack
I wanna be too hot
Permit any attack
Be it minor or not
 
When will the day come
When I push too hard
Realize true form
Or end up scarred
 
C1:
I may be different
In the bad way           
That gives me no right
To do and to say
All those terrible things
The terrible things I do 
 
My claws buried, deep 
Into my palms
Blood flowing free
Psalms 79:3
 
V2:
See all minor acts
As an enormous offense
All my victories
Call for indifference
 
My world feels small 
As small as it is
And when I push out
I feel no resistance
 
C2:
You may be different
In the good way
But that gives you no right
To do and to say
All those terrible things 
The terrible things you do
 
My claws buried, deep 
Into my palms
Blood flowing free
Psalms 79:3
 
B:
They call me poison
Because I am poison.
I am the rash
Feel proud of your treason
No meaningless task
Completed without frisson
No minor distraction
Ignored no matter the reason
 
I am the poison
And I will leave
None left to bury the dead
 
C3:
I may be bad
In the good way
But that gives me no right
To do and to say
All those terrible things 
The terrible things I do
 
My claws buried, deep 
Into my palms
Blood flowing free
Psalms 79:3
