[Intro]
I waded through shame for this
[Verse 1]
I waded through shame for this
Are you there?
Everyday I'd see if chance was calling
Are you there?
[Pre-Chorus]
I got a numb skull
I got a green heart
[Chorus]
Something changed, we're out gunning
We all suffer the same faiths
We're in the sun, like nothing
All waging the good fight
Something changed, I'm stuck here, so defensive
[Post-Chorus]
I want to see
What kind of place they'd lay for me
[Verse 2]
I don't like these open endings
Are you there?
Well I forgive you but there's no pretendings
Are you there?
[Pre-Chorus]
I got a numb skull
I got a green heart
[Chorus]
Something changed, and I'm out gunning
I wanna speak facts
Less we know, without substance
It's more powerful than they can supply
Every day, we're all stuck here, so effected
[Post-Chorus]
I wanna see
What kind of place they'd lay for me
[Bridge]
I forgive you but there's no pretending (It becomes automatic, it becomes all but free)
It becomes automatic, it becomes all but free
It becomes automatic, it becomes all but free
[Chorus]
Something changed, we're out gunning
You may wanna stay back
It's not the same, no sense in running
For the sake of the old hat
No parade, nobody's coming
We're all part of the same pack
[Post-Chorus]
And I wanna see
What kind of place they'd lay for me
[Outro]
It becomes automatic, it becomes all but free
It becomes automatic, it becomes all but free

Paul Banks:
[“Something Changed” and “Toni”] weren’t written as partners, but they were the two songs based around piano. I think it got some people talking like, ‘Is this going to be a piano record? What’s going on? Is this the new Interpol sound?’ And no, it’s part of the new Interpol sound, but...
