  • Standing on the edge of sanity
    Throwing insults at the void
    Zero plus zero is the Lord's work
    But if you do it He gets annoyed
    I'd feel less like St. Sebastian
    If you'd stop searching for another arrow
    Why are you always repeating yourself
    Like you're trapped inside of Bolero?

    Now you cry, "Fake"
    From the comfort of your bell jar
    I know you think you're better than me
    Well, maybe you are
    Oh, but then you'd have to admit
    That being better hasn't got you
    Very far

    Floating with your head underwater
    Screaming hatred into the sea
    Wasted wasteful anger time
    Is the only time you made for me
    I have no reason to think about you
    To worry, or to care
    You used to be my main man
    But when I look at you now, he's not there

    Now you call me a fake
    From the comfort of your bell jar
    I know you think you're better than me
    Well, maybe you are
    Oh, but then you'd have to admit
    That being better hasn't got you
    Very far

    Oh, now you cry, "Fake"
    From the comfort of your bell jar
    I know you think you're better than me
    Well, maybe you are
    Oh, but then you'd have to admit
    That being better hasn't got you
