One day I'll wake up
To a thunderous applause
Then a cackle of laughter
And clacking of claws
And as truths I've not spoken
Are ripped from my jaw
I will see that my whole life
Was nothing at all
But I'm trying to be
Whatever it is you said
While I'm lost in a minefield
Of existential dread

One day I'll wake up
To a thunderous applause
Then a cackle of laughter
And clacking of claws
And as truths I've not spoken
Are ripped from my jaw
I will see that my whole life
Was nothing at all
But I'm trying to be
Whatever it is you said
While I'm lost in a minefield
Of existential dread
