[Verse 1]

This is what the gods must have been talking about

When they told me, "Nothing changes"

Falling through the Pleiades straight into a cloud

Wishing all the stars could save me


[Chorus]

And I feel strange, like I shouldn't be here

Let me know if you receive me

If I could change, then I wouldn't be here

Oh, nothing's gonna change, believe me

So don't lead me on


[Verse 2]

This is what the birds must have been squawking about

Right before the dream was ending

And maybe you'd have heard if you'd stopped fucking around

When it was time to stop pretending


[Chorus]

That I could change and I wouldn't be here

Oh, when did all the gods deceive me?

I should change, I shouldn't be here

But nothing's gonna change, believe me

Believe me


[Instrumental Break]


[Bridge]

Thrust the dagger into the night, valiant flailing

Sisyphean daily life, with endless straining

Fortify the curtain walls, but nothing's storming

Push the boulder off to the side

La-la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la, la-la

La-la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la, la-la

La-la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la, la-la

La-la, la-la, la, la, la, la, la-la


[Outro]

And this is what the gods must have been talking about

When they told me, "Nothing changes"
