One track mind, like a goldfish Stuck inside my petri dish I can't breathe, and I can't smile This better be worth my while I feel numb most of the time Lower, I get the higher I'll climb, and I will wonder why I got dark only to shine Lookin' for the golden light Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice (Burn, burn, burn bright) Forgo families, forgo friends That's how it started, and how it ends I can't open up, and cry Cause I've been silent all my life I feel numb most of the time Lower, I get the higher I'll climb, and I will wonder why I got dark only to shine Lookin' for the golden light Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice (Burn, burn, burn bright) (Burn, burn, burn bright) Ooh, I get dark Oh, and I'm in Hell I need a friend Ooh, but I can't yell Yeah, I'm no good No good to anyone Cause all I care about Is being number one Shine Lookin' for the golden light Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice Shine Lookin' for the golden light Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice Sacrifice I feel numb most of the time Lower, I get the higher I'll climb, and I will wonder why I got dark only to shine And I'll light up the sky Stars that burn the brightest Fall so fast and pass you by Puff like empty lighters I feel numb most of the time Lower, I get the higher I'll climb, and I will wonder why I got dark only to shine And I'll light up the sky Stars that burn the brightest Fall so fast and pass you by Spark like empty lighters

I'm a cloud driftin' by Drippin' tears from the sky I'm a snail without a shell Leper with a golden bell I've got nowhere to go I'm a stray cat on the roam Chokin' on a chicken bone For a home-sweet, no sweet home For a root, for a leaf For a branch, for a tree For something, somebody That reminded them of me Runnin' with my roots pulled up Caught me cold, so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless Work you fingers to the bone Buildin' castles out of snow I'm a nomad walking on Hummin' to the same old song Lowercase society tied to no community A kingdom without a king with no sense of belongin' For a root, for a leaf For a branch, for a tree For something, somebody That reminded them of me Runnin' with my roots pulled up Caught me cold, so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless Runnin' with my roots pulled up So they could cut me free of love Runnin' with my roots pulled up Caught me cold, so they could cut What there was left of love I'm rootless, I'm rootless Draggin' my roots through the snow No home-sweet and no sweet home I've got nowhere to go I'm rootless, I'm rootless

Murder lives forever and so does war It's survival of the fittest, rich against the poor At the end of the day it's a human trait Hidden deep down inside of our DNA One man can build a bomb, another run a race To save somebody's life and have it blow up in his face I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand I'm not afraid of God, I am afraid of man Is it running in our blood? Is it running in our veins? Is it running in our genes? Is it in our DNA? Humans aren't gonna behave as we think we always should Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We're just animals still learning how to crawl We live, we die, we steal, we kill, we lie Just like animals but with far less grace We laugh, we cry like babies in the night Forever running wild in the human race Another day, another tale of rape Another ticking bomb to bury deep and detonate I'm not the only one who finds it hard to understand I'm not afraid of God, I am afraid of man You can see it on the news, you can watch it on TV You can read it on your phone, you can say it's troubling Humans aren't gonna behave as we think we always should Yeah, we can be bad as we can be good Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We're just animals still learning how to crawl Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave We're just animals still learning to behave All the hate coming out from a generation Who got everything and nothing guided by temptation Were we born to abuse, shoot a gun and run Or has something deep inside of us come undone? Is it a human trait or is it learned behaviour Are you killing for yourself or killing for your saviour? Underneath it all, we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages How could we expect anything at all? We're just animals still learning how to crawl Underneath it all we're just savages Hidden behind shirts, ties and marriages Truth is in us all, cradle to the grave We're just animals still learning to behave
