Lyrics

It began with me and it will end with me
It’s nobody’s fault and you’re not making anything better
Things are getting worse and you’re not making anything better
So I am still thinking over my dead body, over my dead body
Self-worth is worth how much
Charge by the hour, a fraction of forever
And common decency is lost, it’s chaos
Free will runs everything except for in this office
Don’t want to hear about god or angels
My thoughts protect me from nothing but myself
but my Self is the least of my worries
What am I shielded from exactly when decency is gone, is gone, is gone
So calm the beast by the hour and it still screams
over my dead body, over my dead body
Self-worth is worth how much
Charge by the hour, a fraction of forever
These rules don’t apply to anyone
Failing reality, a session never-ending
when common decency is lost, it’s chaos
Free will runs everything except for in this office
Nothing’s written in the stars, they blink and we’re gone
and modern life stands in the gales of the wind
blowing out anything that burns
you can’t see mines with all the light in the world
Hang on tooth and nail
in moderation excess is acceptable
Emerging from the tank
magic’s dead but living is accessible
So I am done swaying
holding my dead body, over my dead
I’m terrified of leaving this chair but
I will only stay in it over my dead
chorus
It began with me. And it will end with me.
