lyrics

Break the wall of expectation
and I garentee you'll find something there
I've been moving through rooms like a ghost
Waiting for someone to scare
And I have nothing left
I swear to god, that's what he tells me
And I have nothing left to say
I feign ignorance
God, Thats what I'm good for
That's what I do most days
And I feel the blood race to my skin just like a hermit
Exposed for the very first time
I keep looking for glimpses in mirrors
Waiting for the perfect time

Oh, creature
Is there nothing left to say?

Creature,
I wanna do it like you
Creature
I wanna do it like you

And so I reach out
As a faint and desperate showman
Catching a plummeting knife
You can cut me
God, I know you want to
I'm going to live my life
And so I balance my back to the measure
And I ready my feet on the stage
My performance of a lifetime
It's going to end today
My performance of a lifetime
It's going to end today

Creature
