Let me get this one flat out straight
Illuminate it's not too late
Since when did you become a god?
You might be right, I've been tattered
'n torn, self destructing since I was born
So what's that got to do with you?

Close yet far - I've gone now
Safe and sound - I don't know how
Knuckled under - never giving up

So much fun when you can tell me I'm done
Such a sweet unchaining song
Whisper me softly that I'm gonna die young
Before you do, take a look in the ground
That's not my funeral!

If you rip my life apart in not time
I'll put it back together in 2.5
How's that for punctuality?

Since you wanna fuck me over
And I know you do
Better be aware I'm gonna fuck you too
But you should by now be schooled in
That very piece of my mind's obscurity

Close yet far - I've gone now
Safe and sound - I don't know how
Knuckled under - never giving up

So much fun when you can tell me I'm done
Such a sweet unchaining song
Whisper me softly that I'm gonna die young
Before you do, take a look in the ground

So much fun when you can tell me I'm done
Such a sweet unchaining song
Whisper me softly that I'm gonna die young
Before you do, take a look in the ground
That's not my funeral!
