lyrics

Finally I have arrived
This is my ultimate form
I've never been so alive
I've never been so adorned
All that I was before
Is someone I no longer am
The history I can't hide
I would deny on the stand

I know no other name than the last word on my lips

I've cleared my cookies and eaten my chrysalis
I've discarded my textbooks and kept all my wisdom teeth
I know no other name than the last word on my lips
Is that strange? That might be it
Is that strange?
Is that strange?

My predecessor was a hack
But you can trust in the new regime
Forged by fire, the likes of which you've never seen

What I do now is part of my identity
Better take me as I am
Not as I was yesterday

I've cleared my cookies and eaten my chrysalis
I've discarded my textbooks and kept all my wisdom teeth
I know no other name than the last word on my lips
Is that strange? That might be it

I won't live longer than a mayfly
Let my next incarnation be the magpie
I won't chase the shine of the sun, I won't chase
My planned obsolescence is coming to get me soon

What I do now is part of my identity
Better take me as I am
Not as I was yesterday
