[Intro]Did you know that the hole in the apple didn't come from the outside in?It was eaten from the core and out to the skin, and that's why you'll never find the worm in itBut a few bad ones won't spoil the eyes if they fall far enough from the treeThe rind is all you see, leave Eden with my seeds in your stomach[Verse 1]Well, this disease is defined by its treatment, you people make me sickParlance of imbalanced cambia's been challenged, at best AstraZeneca's just theoreticalPrints of your fingers in the Rorschach jigsaw, say you saw a treasure mapStraight-jacket and tie, psychiatric supply, while we tragically try to fit into a trap, but[Pre-Chorus]Who'd want to be human anyway? (Ay ay ay ay)Who pilots all these crude machines?Why'd you come into this world or come out that way?Like freaks of nurture, well isn't it funny?(Well, not "ha-ha" funny, but y'know, funny)[Chorus]'Cause I doubt that you would even if you could changeYou think it makes you special, but it makes you strangeI doubt that you would even if you could changeThe things that make you special are the things that make you strange[Verse 2]I am the shadows cast aside by gallows, and you the red-hot skyAnd if you're believers, then why would you grieve for the dead instead of a devil that you never prayed for?You become immune to my toxic fumes, my dose-dependent presence in your lifeIt's all subjective, all due respect to the collective mind, but[Pre-Chorus]Too weird to love, too scared to die (Ay ay ay ay)Too alien to take you homeHorrified at the sight of my reflection in your eyesI don't belong thereWell, it's your conclusions that make mine delusions, so I make you saneYou can thank me later[Chorus]I doubt that you would even if you could changeYou think it makes you special, but it makes you strangeI doubt that you would even if you could changeThe things that make you special are the things that make you strange[Pre-Chorus]Who'd want to belong to anyone? (Ay ay ay ay)I mean, what do people even do?So if you love me, let me let you go, my love (Ay ay ay ay)So I can be no oneWhen Chuang-Tzu awoke he sat upAlmost choking, spat out a butterfly and said, “Five more minutes, please? You wouldn't believe the dream I just had. I mean you were there, and you were there, and you, and you, and you were there"[Chorus]'Cause I doubt that you would even if you could changeYou think it makes you special, but it makes you strangeI doubt that you would even if you could changeThe things that make you special are the things that make you—[Chorus]I doubt that you would even if you could changeYou think it makes you special, but it makes you strangeI doubt that you would even if you could changeThe things that make you special are the things that make you strange
