Lyrics
I was born on a standpipe, flopping on the land
Like the creature from the Flint Lagoon
Michigan, she raised me, a wolf and her baby
Kill our food and howl at the moon
I've been called a body resurrected at the foot of Krakatoa
A decollated echo of a supernova
A wave of radiation burning shadows in the pavement
Like an atom
I used to believe 'em, but that's all over
What I really am is this low pain in my shoulder
Pulling frantically against the straight jacket's hold
Over a case of undiagnosed claustrophobia
Like an atom
'Cause I'm smart, but I ain't rich
I think it's safe to say you don't know who you're messing with
Don't know who you're messing with
I'm gonna kill this city, slit its skyline and bleed its streets
There's malice in its shadows and it's taking all my pride from me
And I've been called a lazy hypochondriac who can't get a real job
An over-educated and potential waste, an art snob
Trying to learn to fall and stumbling naked in the garden
Like I'm an atom
I used to believe 'em, but that's all over
I used to believe 'em, but that's all over
I used to believe 'em, but that's all over
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
