lyrics

I’m not apathetic, I’m just spoiled and conflicted
Now you know the truth of how I think my sick mind makes do

Do you believe in saving grace?
The human race is all the same
At least I hope so
I haven’t the time or care to know for sure

I’m caught between magnanimity and self-fulfilling prophecies
I’m torn between a bleeding heart and a futile view of things

Like lukewarm water, smoldering and polar
Is this a body bag or amniotic sac?
Is this the rapture or a heart attack?
Am I a farmer or a swarm of locust?
Losing sight or gaining focus?
Am I Cain or am I Abel?
To sacrifice or not?
Am I the killer or the cop?

Am I Abraham or am I a sodomite?
I guess I’m both at once and that’s what makes me lose my mind

Am I Jezebel or am I Magdalene?
The sainthood or the sin?
I’ve got both inside my skin

Am I Abraham or am I a sodomite?
It’s simultaneous at once and that’s what makes me lose my mind
That’s what makes me want to die
That’s what makes me feel alright

Am I being taught or giving lectures
Based in pixels or in vectors
The rising or the fall
Am I the fingers or the wall
Am I a poet or a tax collector?
Philanthropist or feline burglar
Is my presence poisonous or am I someone you could trust

Am I Jezebel or am I Magdalene?
The sainthood or the sin?
I’ve got both inside my skin

Am I Addama or am I Solomon
The sinner or the king
Am I the winter or the spring?


Am I Delilah or am I Sampson?
A man or a woman
I’ve got both inside my skin

Am I Jesus Christ or am I Ponchus Pilate?
I’ll give you a hint, I’ve got one in each iris
That’s what makes me want to die
That’s what makes me feel alright
