I need to step outside   Another day marks another way   Marks a new reason to hide   It's true when you slip   You slide   On the ground, been pushed down by this   Primitive pride      My voice, a stifled symphony   My veins pump   Liquid lethargy   But those that can avert casualty   Do not acquire sympathy   Step aside   'Cause I want off this ride      Black hole ate the crippled cry   Of me, myself, and I   The vacuum is picturesque   For those who can pass the test   I may be turning blue   I may have some work to do   But try me   Tri-me      I detest this new dichotomy   To love to hate   The light in me   Too loud to hear   Too bright to see   The incest of infamy   To be or not to be      So I may be tainted in my truth   When I claim I'm bullet-proof   But every half-assed assault   Has been a death by default      Any day now   You will see   The singular me   When three become one   And one becomes enough      I'm blowing up   Taking off   Coming down   I'm not enough      It never starts   It never stops   A bell rings   A piano drops      I'm rubbing off   It's sinking in   I'm running fast   I'm running thin   This little bubble's gonna burst   It's me alone   And I come first
