Laplace’s Angel (Hurt People? Hurt People!)

Have you ever died in a nightmare? Woke up surprised you hadn’t earned your fate?
Have you ever felt like Atlas; threw your back out on the axis then collapsed and threw the planet away?
Everyone’s just blood in an ice tray. A vampire picking flowers out in the sun
Run your diagnostic tests. It’s posited nobody dies agnostic, but we still dial 9-1-1

And now you’re singing “oooh, could you take a look at me?”
(It’s the norm for-. It’s the norm for chemicals.)
“Am I bad?" "Am I bad?" "Am I bad?" "Am I really that bad?”
(It’s the norm for particles. Eye for eye for tooth.)
And now you’re singing “oooh, whatever you think of me
(It’s the norm for chemicals. It’s the norm for particles.)
If you were in my shoes, you’d walk the same damn miles I do.”
(Yes, it’s only natural.)

We’re only tuning to the tone of a bell curve now. Ask not for whom it tolls...
But with my head up in the clouds, I can see so much ground
And from up here, you look like ants in a row
It doesn’t take a killer to murder! It only takes a reason to kill
We’ve all got evidence of innocence. It’s “everything’s coincidence.”
The difference twixt fate and free will

Is whether you’re singing “oooh, could you take a look at me?”
(It’s the norm for animals. It’s the norm for chemicals.)
“Am I bad?" "Am I bad?" "Am I bad?" "Am I really that bad?”
(It’s the norm for particles. I, for I, forsooth.)
And now you’re singing “oooh, whatever you think of me
(It’s the norm for chemicals. It’s the norm for particles.)
If you were in my shoes, you’d walk the same damn miles I do.”
(Yes, it’s only natural.)

Yo-u, YOU!

Somebody help me!

Say, doesn’t it pain you to know our fate? A hundred trillion years all piled up in one brain. And now, hey
What do you say we sneak on out of this place, babe? Free will is best enjoyed with a familiar face
Victor made a monster. Heaven made The Beast
Judas made a friend and stabbed his back post-feast, so posthaste! We must escape! Your creator’ll leave you disgraced, babe
Laplace will not rest until you are erased!

So if you wash your hands of where you’ve been until you flood the second floor
Neatly fold your skeletons but still can’t shut the closet door
The only ones in need of love are those who don’t receive enough
So evil ones should get a little more

You! Could you take a look at me?
(Man no more than animal is made of moral chemicals.)
Am I bad? Am I bad? Am I bad? Am I really that bad?
(Any form, mechanical. Thank you, God, you fool.)
And now you’re singing. You! Whatever you think of me
(From the hordes of cannibals to psych wards of hospitals:)
If the shoe fits, would you walk that mile?
(it’s a small world after all.)
Oh, you can put it on the other foot, it’s the same size!

You! Could you take a look at me?
(苦しむ人々は人を傷つける.)
Am I bad? Am I bad? Am I bad? Am I really that bad? You?
(俺は傷人, so what'cha think I’m gonna do to you?)
We’re singing. You! Whatever you think of me
(傷ついた奴は人を傷つける. Schadenfreude just ain’t as good.)

If you were in my shoes
You’d see I wear the same size as you
