lyrics

i was just like you, once. yes, i was boredom walking.
bolted to the schooling cross, i was sure of nothing.
until one day i woke, like the gods in all the heavens spoke.
it shook me to the inner i.
i was just like you once. now, i'm not.
luck and timing.
funny thing is, i'm unsure exactly what i dreamt about.
something so impactful should have stuck around to hash it out.
ultimately though, i needn't know which words were spoken.
now, i am open.
i might have turned out like you. i was brought up calmly -
academic, sober, cross and obsessed with fucking.
until the day i broke. let the chorus in the wings emote.
opened up my inner eye.
i might have turned out like you but for luck and timing.
