The Haystack Principle - The Megas

This is not my home

It’s where I’m locked away

It’s in my design

It’s not my circuitry

This is not who I am

You’ll never see me

Behind this killer’s face

These aren’t my hands

These needles take their place

Was this all part of the plan?

Would you believe this isn’t me?

That what you get isn’t what you see?

I’m not a bad guy

I’m just designed that way

No matter what I try

I can’t help but hurt those close to me

And I can’t see a way out this time

Wait, get to the point

It’s hard to blame them

I even scare myself

Built to kill, seems to

Be detrimental to my health

I guess I should have known

He’s on his way down

I hear him just above

I guess it’s his job

When pushing comes to shove

At least I won’t be alone

Would you believe this isn’t me?

That what you get isn’t what you see?

I’m not a bad guy

I’m just designed that way

No matter what I try

I can’t help but hurt those close to me

And I can’t see a way out this time

Deep underground

Ten miles down

A man stands below the city he will destroy-

Stop

How can I retract these claws?

(Those are your hands

You can’t take back the damage you cause)

How can I take off this mask?

(That is your face

You can’t remove the fear you cast)

How can I turn off this hatred

That fills my eyes?

(You can’t shut down where your path lies)

When can I stop being bad?

That is who you are

(That is who you are)

If that’s who I am

Then I’ll fight who I am!

I’m not a bad guy

I’m just designed that way

No matter what I try

I can’t help but hurt those close to me

And now I see a way out this time
