i'm gonna tear out my throat

and i'll rip it to shreds

i'm gonna pry out my bones

i want yours instead

cut off my hands

and then i'll claw at my eyes

maybe i can fix it

before the sunrise

can i be new?

can i be you?

can i be functional and affable

the way that i'm supposed to?

can i be new?

can i be you?

can i be religious and robotic and

so hypnotic

just like i'm supposed to

i'm supposed to

i'm gonna puncture my lungs

i wanna drown in the air

i'm gonna take out my veins

i promise i'll share

cut up my cells

then i'll serve up a feast

a ritual rebirth

for a teenage beast

can i be new?

can i be you?

can i be functional and affable

the way that i'm supposed to?

can i be new?

can i be you?

can i be religious and robotic and

so hypnotic

just like i'm supposed to

i'm supposed to

so when all of that is said and done

and my old soul is on the run

my carcass stains my lilac sheets

and nothing more is wrong with me

i'll look my parents in the eyes

i'll tell them i have a surprise

ignore the rotting from my room

there's no one there, and i'm brand new

can i be new?

can i be you?

can i be functional and affable

the way that i'm supposed to?

can i be new?

can i be you?

can i be religious and robotic and

so hypnotic

just like i'm supposed to

i'm supposed to
