Will Wood - Laplace’s Angel (Hurt People? Hurt People!) lyrics
[Will Wood - Laplace’s Angel Hurt People? Hurt People! lyrics]
Have you ever died in a nightmare?
Woke up surprised you hadn’t
Earned your fate?
Have you ever felt like Atlas
threw your back out on the axis
And collapsed and threw the planet away?
Everyone’s just blood in an ice tray
A vampire picking flowers out in the sun
Run your diagnostic tests
It's posited nobody dies agnostic
But we still dial 9-1-1 now we’re singing
Ooh, could you take a look at me?
(It’s the norm for animals
It’s the norm for chemicals)
Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad
Am I really that bad?
(It’s the norm for particles
Eye for eye for tooth) and now we're singing
Ooh, whatever you think of me
(It’s the norm for chemicals
It’s the norm for particles)
If you were in my shoes
You’d walk the same damn miles I do
(Yes, it’s only natural)
We’re only tuning to the tone
Of the bell curve now
Ask not for whom it tolls
But with my head up in the clouds
I can see so much ground
And from up here you look like ants in a row
It doesn’t take a killer to murder
It only takes a reason to kill
We’ve all got evidence of innocence
It’s "everything’s coincidence"
The difference twixt fate and free will
Is whether you’re singing
Ooh, could you take a look at me?
(It’s the norm for animals
It’s the norm for chemicals)
Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad
Am I really that bad?
(It’s the norm for particles
I for I for tooth)
Ooh, whatever you think of me
(It’s the norm for chemicals
It’s the norm for particles)
If you were in my shoes
You’d walk the same damn miles I do
(Yes, it’s only natural)
Somebody help me! WOO!
So if you wash your hands of where you’ve
Been until you flood the second floor
Neatly fold your skeletons but still
Can’t shut the closet door
The only ones in need of love
Are those who don’t receive enough
So evil ones should get a little more
You, could you take a look at me?
(You could break an angel’s fall
And ignore the Devil’s call)
Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad
Am I really that bad?
(Still forsaken shoulders fall silent now)
Now we're singing
Ooh, whatever you think of me
(It’s no more than cultural
You and me inseparable)
If the shoe fit's would you walk that mile?
You could put it on the other foot
It’s the same size
(It’s a small hell after all)
You, could you take a look at me?
(Man no more than animal is
Made of moral chemicals)
Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad
Am I really that bad?
(Any form mechanical, thank you God)
Ooh, whatever you think of me
(From the hordes of cannibals
To psych wards of hospitals)
If you were in my shoes
You’d see I wear the same size as you
(It’s a small world after all) oh oh right!
La la la la la la la la, la la la
Woke up surprised you hadn’t
Earned your fate?
Have you ever felt like Atlas

And collapsed and threw the planet away?
Everyone’s just blood in an ice tray

Run your diagnostic tests
It's posited nobody dies agnostic
But we still dial 9-1-1 now we’re singing
Ooh, could you take a look at me?
(It’s the norm for animals
It’s the norm for chemicals)
