Different

We were in another timeline
Everything was accelerated
I felt like someone in your eyes
We looked ahead and celebrated
Felt like some sort of legend
Riding atop 9 years of good will
Stripped myself down and I was leprous
Before I blinked, it had been killed.

You can't really explain it
"Things are just different"
I think I can explain it...

To think that I took some pride in punching a clock
For once, I held my chin high
I felt diligent, but then it all stopped
We stood up on a mountain
So precious and pristine
I threw myself down it
Now I'll never be clean

You can't really explain it
"Things are just different"
I think I can explain it
It's just who I am

God, it was the first thing that you asked
"Where do you stand with the masks?"
My god, the bar was on the floor
Still, I tunneled miles below it
Matthew, did you ring the bells
To warn us of the hell that I would build?

You can't really explain it
"Things are just different"
Well I can explain it
It's just who I am

It's not a poison on my breath
It's not a virus in my chest
It's not the distance or the depth
It is the lack
It's just who I am
