I found out what it is that's been driving me mad - There's no room to breathe between the good and the bad - A crush in-between, there's a thin, thin line - But just 'round the corner, there's a change in design
When I leave don't save my seat - I'll be back when it's all complete - The moment is medical, moment is medical
Don't you tell me what you think that I can be - I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea

Can you build my house with pieces? I'm just a chemical
Let it be know, there is a fountain, that was not made by the hands of men
