After the Incident Lyrics

After the incident

Nothing was quite the same

I just flew from the van

And I scrambled the land with my brain

After the incident

I couldn't see straight

But I never could see so straight

At least that's maintained

It's coincidence, it must be

Surely no correlation

Just some aberration

So I pulled out my eyes and wept

Laid on a spike and slept

Cut off my hands and clapped

Then I stuck out my arms and flapped

But I'm not rising up

Not surprising, nope

So don't you give me hope

After the incident

I forgot what you said

How I should leave my skin alone

But your words just became a drone

And I dig and dig and still don't see the red

Who's that weird person with your face?

It's obvious there's been some kind of mistake

Why can't you hear me say

Why can't you hear me say

Why can't you hear me say I'm awake

Till I shattered my teeth and bit

Swallowed my tongue and spit

Cut off my legs and ran

Drained out the tub and swam

But I'm not rising up

Not surprising, nope

So don't tell me I'll float

You never meant what you spent so much time hating

To be the whole painting

Can you make peace with the beast that you're creating?

Don't keep us all waiting

I'm awake

I'm awake

I'm awake
