[Verse 1] I caused a DC-10 to crash waiting for the express train And I break down crying at the end of every day And nobody seems to notice, that behind my mask of pain Is the god of death, sitting by you on this uptown train [Verse 2] The plague arrived on Tuesday, there's so much work to do I’m heading up logistics, for the souls passage through And most days I don't like myself, and wouldn't choose the way I am But these laws are written deeper, than even the gods can understand [Pre-Chorus] I don’t do it out of pride and I don't do it out of pitty I do it cause' I have to, like the rest of this city But I wonder Yеah I wonder [Chorus] Can you get so good at forgiving yourself that you nеver change again Can you get so tied to the mask that you wear That it becomes yourself until you are no-one else at all [Post-Chorus] Just another nameless face on a train Just another stone to be rolled away Someday [Verse 3] Sorry to interrupt you, I know you just sat down But the gas leak in the basement means the building's coming down Survivors will write their memoirs, and will pose their questions why And I'll escape unnoticed, your famous, nameless passerby [Verse 4] But even the destroyer needs some company I'd like to get some takeout with Carol, Apartment C But I gotta be up early, Death's commuter blues And I'll remove my mask and try to sleep as I weep for all of you [Pre-Chorus] I don’t do it out of pride and I don’t do it out of pitty I do it cause' I have to, like the rest of this city But I wonder Yeah I wonder [Chorus] Can you get so good at forgiving yourself that you never change again Can you get so tied to the mask that you wear That it becomes yourself until you are no-one else at all [Post-Chorus] Another nameless face on a train Another stone to be rolled away Someday [Bridge] I think I’ll quit this city Buy a little farm upstate Start a bed and breakfast Find a partner, gain some weight Maybe have some children, and teach them how to farm Oh who am I kidding, I am the time bomb I am the swarm [Outro] Can you get so good at forgiving yourself that you never change again And can you get so tied to the mask that you wear That it becomes yourself until you are no-one else at all
