Who do you think I am?
What do you want from me?
I'm only here to disappoint you
I'm only here to destroy your dreams
What would you have me say?
How would you have me lie?
That's not the point of this thing
And I'm a boy with no strings
I'm ready enough to die
And I don't expect you're ever gonna hear me
I don't think you will ever see the truth
But I stumbled on it twice
Turned men I'd seen to mice
The best of us
There's nothing left to do
I saw a vision straight from Revelations
But I saw a scientific sign
I saw swans and songs for civilization
I guess it could have come at a better time
And I don't expect you're ever gonna hear me
I don't think you will ever see the truth
But I stumbled on it twice
Turned men I'd seen to mice
The best of us
There's nothing left to do
I'm just trying to live
Like a goddamned human being
And I never signed up to hear these things
Like little children's screams
I'm pretty far from perfect
But I know a couple things
An empire never lasts
And it's weaker than it seems
I don't expect you're ever gonna hear me
I know that you will never see the truth
But I stumbled on it twice
Turned men I'd seen to mice
The best of us
There's nothing left to do
I don't think I'll ever see the ceiling
I don't think I'll live to see the day
I just know this life has left me reeling
And I don't think I'll ever be the same
I'll never be the same
