lyrics

It only feels normal because it's all that you've known
Don't want to feel this way anymore
It's easier to say someones in control

So do you blame it all on God?
Or on the day that your birth just happens to fall on?
I don't know, it seems pretty odd to me

It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong,
It doesn't matter if you like this song
Oh, I don't think anything even matters at all.
So I won't bother trying to explain,
those things in life that we just can't explain.
Oh I know, someone 's trying in vain.

A symptom of facing the unknown,
A tendency to feel so uncomfortable.
We tend to cling to our blindfolds at the edge of the rabbit hole.
So by the time that you realize,
You'll only ever ee the world through your own eyes.
You might feel a little terrified,
Or alive.

It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong,
It doesn't matter if you like this song
Oh, I don't think anything even matters at all.
So I won't bother trying to explain,
those things in life that we just can't explain.
Oh I know, someone 's trying in vain.

Oh but I don't think that it's even fair,
I don't think that no one there.
I only wrote this song because I don't know why magnets work.

MAGNETS.
THE MANDELBROT SET.
WHY DO PLANES FLY? THEY'RE SO HEAVY. HOW DO THEY STAY UP?
THEY'RE SO HEAVY.
WHY DO MAGNETS WORK?
