Applauding God

[Intro]
*Applause*
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh

[Verse 1]
I'm not sorry anymore
I wish I could be sorry
It's like I wrote a book
Entirely in a foreign language
But now I try to look and I
Cannot recall the pages
The story's somewhere buried
I lost my glass prescription

[Pre-Chorus]
But someday I'll be blind
And leave this all behind

[Chorus]
I throw the acid in my eyes
Like I wanted to
I fall from forty thousand high
Like I wanted to
Please don't get smart, I'll snuff you out
Like you want me to
But we're just apes and this is all so pointless

[Verse 2]
It's like I'm crying about crying
It's like I'm dreaming about dreaming
And maybe time's a movie
Where the actors forgot the plot
And we all decay a tempo
Like an audience applauding God
But that's all bullshit anyway
I just don't want to be useless

[Pre-Chorus]
But now I'm good as blind
I left that all behind

[Chorus]
I throw the acid in my eyes
Like I wanted to
I fall from forty thousand high
Like I wanted to
Please don't get smart, I'll snuff you out
Like you want me to
But we're just apes and this is all so pointless

[Outro]
I know it's just a projection on a silver screen
But I can't hear the happy birds
Without tasting their sarcasm anymore
And I'm certain of that
Let's go
And plant seeds in other places
There won't be cards or cons or races
Just a magazine
Of poetry
That's blank on every page
So don't
Lift a finger
We've got this one figured out
Like a math problem or
Something like that
