A House that God Built
So I've moulted now
What becomes of the shell?
It had wore down, grew fond of its smell
I have crawled out, a call to the warm walls
I'm wired this way
It all comes back to this
One thing
To forget my forget my friends
Couldn't stop holding grudges now they're songs instead
I'm wired
To be the only one who speaks
To spit my opinions on anyone who breathes
And I'm wired that's why I'm an outsider
I'm wired this way and I'm wound even tighter
I'm wired
Oh baby I'm wired
If I'm so free, why am I freezing?
What this life's for me, is this where I'm peaking?
Every single day
I try and I try
But my fear of failure
Trades one cage for another
And I'm wired this way
It all comes back to this
One thing
I'm wired
To forget my forget my friends
Couldn't stop holding grudges now they're songs instead
I'm wired
To be The only one who speaks
To spit my opinions on anyone who breathes
I'm wired that's why I'm an outsider
I'm wired this way and goddammit I'm wound tighter
Aw baby I'm wired
11 Years of psych tests, gave this kid his results
I took a look at things they'd decided
It defined me
Made 'em concrete
It set the man I was in stone
I couldn't even breathe
Every mistake that I'd made
Was written in those sheets
All this for a bruised brain?
This such a simple lynchpin
All around me, my wife, my band, my life
All in the shadow of this
Overwhelming guilt
That I instilled
Ten year old shaking in his chair
Two days straight, no smile from across the desk
How accurate are those results?
How accurate are those results?
How accurate?
How accurate?
Ah baby I'm wired
Goddamnit
Goddamnit I'm wired
What becomes of the shell?
It had wore down, grew fond of its smell
I have crawled out, a call to the warm walls
I'm wired this way
It all comes back to this
One thing
To forget my forget my friends
Couldn't stop holding grudges now they're songs instead
I'm wired
To be the only one who speaks
To spit my opinions on anyone who breathes
And I'm wired that's why I'm an outsider
I'm wired this way and I'm wound even tighter
I'm wired
Oh baby I'm wired
If I'm so free, why am I freezing?
What this life's for me, is this where I'm peaking?
Every single day
I try and I try
But my fear of failure
Trades one cage for another
And I'm wired this way
It all comes back to this
One thing
I'm wired
To forget my forget my friends
Couldn't stop holding grudges now they're songs instead
I'm wired
To be The only one who speaks
To spit my opinions on anyone who breathes
I'm wired that's why I'm an outsider
I'm wired this way and goddammit I'm wound tighter
Aw baby I'm wired

How accurate are those results?
How accurate?
How accurate?
Ah baby I'm wired
Goddamnit
Goddamnit I'm wired
