[Verse 1]
Oh, I beg to differ
Lie to get something bigger
What if there’s nothing better than this?
It’s all in your condition
Fu*k your ignorant opinions
Maybe you ain’t got a reason to live

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you bottle it?
Will you sell it for food?
Would you sleep with it?

Tell me who’s using who?
Isn’t it peculiar how the chatter fails to offer
Any solace in the light of the truth

[Chorus]
Don’t need to know you to know you
I’ve seen you twice today
Tell me is no one ever even safe?
A sycophant will kill your will
Pacify her
It gives me chills
Where do we begin to fix the mess
That you began

[Verse 2]
I’m watching from the ledges
Keep a distance on the fences
Where the masochists and nihilists are
See them salivating
While their faces lose their shape and
All that’s real is getting way too bizarre

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you bottle it?
Will you sell it for food?

Would you sleep with it?
Tell me who’s using who?
Isn’t it peculiar how the chatter fails to offer
Any solace in the light of the truth

[Chorus]
Don’t need to know you to know you
I’ve seen you twice today
Tell me is no one ever even safe?
A sycophant will kill your will
Pacify her
It gives me chills
Where do we begin to fix the mess
That you began

[Post-Chorus]
The evil’s working over time
In spite of it I’m doing fine
Where do we begin to fix the mess
That you began

[Bridge]
The biting dogs have got the itch
The future is a seething b!tch
Maybe I’ll be used by it
So maybe, just maybe
I’ve seen your face and face again
In the horrors of the present tense
Believe only half of what you see
And none of what they said
