[Verse 1]
It's a tragic point of view
It's pretty honest but it's fucked up too
I try to run as far away from you
I keep it messy but I tell the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
Dying laughing
Maybe I'm the fool
[Chorus]
Don't think I'm human anymore
Feel soft as velvet
Pretty Pure
Don't try to help me find the cure
Don't want to be human anymore
[Verse 2]
Curse the place where you were stung
It's just the way I think it should be done

The ugly basicness of anyone
[Pre-Chorus]
Dying laughing
Maybe I'm the fool
[Chorus]
Don't think I'm human
Anymore
Feel soft as velvet
Pretty Pure
Don't try to help me find the cure
Don't want to be human anymore
[Bridge]
Laugh away, laugh away, laugh away, laugh away
Pretty normal

It's Pretty Pure

Laugh away, laugh away, laugh away, laugh away
Pretty normal
Pretty normal
Laugh away, laugh away, laugh away, laugh away
It's Pretty Pure
It's Pretty Pure
[Pre-Chorus]
Dying laughing
Maybe I'm the fool
[Chorus]
Don't think I'm human anymore
Feel soft as velvet
Pretty Pure
Don't try to help me find the cure
Don't want to be human anymore
