lyrics

I know exactly when it changed for you
you sat just there and held yourself
and clasped your eyes to me
I was honey tones and microphones
and you were all five senses
and nothing but electricity

you think you know a person
you think things are so simple
well I've got some very bad news
the world will only disappoint you

this part wasn't written
from here we go unscripted
I am dangerous and epic
stay far away from me

I would be a suffocating mess
if this new development unraveled me
I can live my whole life
never knowing what would happen if
the "ifs" turned into "ares"

you think you know a person
you think things are so simple
well I've got some very bad news
the world will only disappoint you

this part wasn't written
from here we go unscripted
I am dangerous and epic
stay far away from me

I am frozen to my instrument
grabbing at the frame of it
is this all I am?
the poet who took nothing
but the things that never were
and those that might have been
my present tense anomaly
a centrifuge to separate
my want from my need
imbalanced and unstable
an ion where there once was
just a person with ideas and thoughts and history

you think you know a person
you think things are so simple
well I've got some very bad news
the world will only disappoint you

this part wasn't written
from here we go unscripted
I am dangerous and epic
stay far away from me
