The Great Heep, Or How To Unsuccessfully Hack An Android

Verse When I saw who was calling I didn't answer the phone There was a pit in my stomach Like I'd swallowed a stone Collect call from jail Do I want to accept? If the tables were turned Would I be feeling bereft? Except that the inverse Had never happened before You practically live there Engraved your name on the door Prechorus But I'm sick of sliding backwards Sick of circling the drain I was the last one in your corner Tell me, now who will remain? Chorus You didn't think I'd go this far And it's got you quite annoyed But I can't do this any longer And watch your future be destroyed The path I hear you're on now Strewn with needles, blood, and fuel Thinking you know better With your self-diagnostic tool Verse You thought you were so clever With your technology and talk But the sad truth of the matter Is you're the bird that lost its flock I saved your life a couple times Started your breathing when you were blue But the cats you choose to run with Will they do the same for you? A magnet for policemen This Odyssey that you're on You're the only one who thinks Your path in life is any fun Prechorus But I'm sick of starting over Tearing down everything I've built Your unwillingness to try Stabs me in the heart up to the hilt Chorus You didn't think I'd go this far And it's got you quite annoyed But I can't do this any longer And watch your future be destroyed You're not the man you used to be He drowned in shards of glass You're the one and only android That self-destructed instead of hacked.
