Destroy the balloons in this sterile room
Colors are just begging me
To feel something now
Pressing all the buttons to do barrel rolls
To simulate ejection
I’ll go out loud
A different me
Can I just fake it?
A different me
All this for a heart
Well I got a decent brain
Hold my hand for the decision
Hold my hand - let’s incision
And pray there are no complications now
Now go
Cramming fast food for thought at an open heart surgery
You’ll learn a lot and I hope you get to see my face
A different me
Can I just fake it?
A different me
All this for a heart
Well I got a decent brain
Hold my hand for the surgery
Hold my hand and count to three
And pray there are no complications
I wouldn’t be the same if I wasn’t me
I wouldn’t be insane with a knife in me
And I don’t need no complications
I’ll go out cold and scared, bitter and confused
Regretful of regretting all damaged, unamused
Fast Food Fast Food
Fast Food Fast Food
Hold my hand for the decision
Hold my hand, let’s incision
And pray here are no complications
I wouldn’t be the same if I wasn’t me
I wouldn’t be insane with a knife in me
And I don’t need no complications
And if I die let’s do this right
Jump up on the casket
And party all night and go, now go
Fast Food

You’re a deal gone wrong
Your alter ego is dead
Your bite has no teeth
And the monsters all stare
Your paranoia is bright
The medics say Hi
Every cliche is great
But the timing is off
Food is a joke
The room is too hot
Nerve endings blow up
You feel like you’re home
There’s a smell on the stairs
You move in morse code
With salt in your kiss
You’re a dead dial tone
When you’re coming down
When you’re coming down
The party is now

You got the tubes (You got the tubes)
Removed from you (Removed from you)
And now we can play with you just like we used to
So wrap them up well (Wrap them up well)
Another story to tell (Another story to tell)
And now we can play with you just like we used to
I can’t imagine what it’s like to say doctor, doctor dear
Please play with my life
Hooray you did not die, heaven was denied
And all our cries were satisfied cause you got the tubes
To hell with ringing bells to visit you
Did you feel our attempts to evacuate you
From your dingy hospital tomb
From everyone’s living room
All our cries were amplified
Cause you got the tubes
When I saw you in the hospital room
I had no reaction cause I was fine there once
The sterile smell of the soap it made me
Reconnect the lost thoughts of your death or survival
I was a juror at your trial
Furious cause it seemed rehearsed
Like the driving route of the company hearse
That’ll never run out of clients
I admire your defiance
Cause I didn’t get unglued
As much as you needed to prove
That you could be reassembled
To try and find your peace
I knew you could be reassembled
To try to find your peace
You got the tubes removed from you
