[Verse 1]
I've been in a rut, ducked off from the sun
Bit my gun with my black gold gums
I'm no fun, I'm no fun
Blood run marathons down my chest (Down my chest!)
I'm a mess, ain't nobody gonna clean up
Bulletproof your limousine
I been in the market for a brand new soul
Daddy hit a brand new low
Better yet, another agoraphobic episode
Here we go again, here we go again, here we go

Lately, I decided I'ma stay alive
I just wanna live and see society die
Looking around and all I see is at the end of the line

Evil all over and no one is (Safe)
Nihilist, I am the finest, though I don't align with it

You think that I need you!?
[Chorus]
You think that I need you (Need you!)
I'll show you I'm fine (I'm fine!)
[Interlude]
What happens when you cut out the circuitry?
The chips, machines—what's left?
Flesh. We're vulnerable, fragile, weak
