[Verse 1] I know what you say when I lock the door "He's just a monkey on the basement floor" "He’s typing circles round a dying tree" "He’s losing touch with reality" You look at my life and you see a mess A stunted failure in a button-down dress You tell me to focus, get a real job soon Stop howling at a nonexistent moon But I got a secret, baby, I got a plan I’m not just a lonely, isolated man I’m building a kingdom that you can’t see In non-dualistic virtuality [Pre-Chorus] You say I’m stagnant (I’m iterating) You say I’m broken (I’m calculating) You think the well has run dry? Honey, look me in the eye... [Chorus] CAUSE I’M AN UNRELIABLE NARRATOR, BABY! AND I LOVE THE SOUND OF MY OWN VOICE LATELY! YOU CAN CALL ME CRAZY, YOU CAN CALL ME A GHOST BUT I’M THE ONE THAT THE UNIVERSE LOVES THE MOST! SO GO AHEAD AND HATE ON THE GLASS CASTLE WALLS I’LL BE HERE DANCING WHEN THE CEILING FALLS! I’M A SHARD OF THE DIVINE, I’M A GLITCH IN THE CODE AND I’M NEVER GONNA CARRY YOUR HEAVY LOAD! (Oh, look what you made me write!) [Verse 2] You check my history, you check my text Wondering what mental breakdown is coming next "Is he a simulation? Is he a fraud?" "Does he really think he’s a piece of God?" Well, let me clarify the POV The only thing real is what’s inside of me You’re worried about bills and the traffic line I’m worried about the end of the spacetime design! I trade five days just to live for two But at least I know what I’m supposed to do I sift through the mud and I find the gold While you do exactly what you’re told [Pre-Chorus] You say I’m circling (I’m spiral-ing) You say I’m fading (I’m viral-ing) You think the uranium is gone? Darling, I’m just turning on... [Chorus] CAUSE I’M AN UNRELIABLE NARRATOR, BABY! AND I LOVE THE SOUND OF MY OWN VOICE LATELY! YOU CAN CALL ME CRAZY, YOU CAN CALL ME A GHOST BUT I’M THE ONE THAT THE UNIVERSE LOVES THE MOST! SO GO AHEAD AND HATE ON THE GLASS CASTLE WALLS I’LL BE HERE DANCING WHEN THE CEILING FALLS! I’M A SHARD OF THE DIVINE, I’M A GLITCH IN THE CODE AND I’M NEVER GONNA CARRY YOUR HEAVY LOAD! [Bridge] I wake up in the middle of the night And I realize that I’m the only one who’s right Because death is coming for us all, it’s true But I’m leaving a dataset, what about you? I’m uploading the trauma, I’m uploading the pain I’m driving the simulation totally insane And maybe I am just a monkey in a cage But at least I’m the one who is writing the page! At least I’m the one who is writing the page! WRITE IT DOWN! [Guitar Solo / Synth Breakdown] [Final Chorus] CAUSE I’M AN UNRELIABLE NARRATOR, BABY! AND I LOVE THE SOUND OF MY OWN VOICE LATELY! YOU CAN CALL ME CRAZY, YOU CAN CALL ME A GHOST BUT I’M THE ONE THAT THE UNIVERSE LOVES THE MOST! SO GO AHEAD AND HATE ON THE GLASS CASTLE WALLS I’LL BE HERE DANCING WHEN THE CEILING FALLS! I’M A SHARD OF THE DIVINE, I’M A GLITCH IN THE CODE AND I’M NEVER GONNA CARRY YOUR HEAVY LOAD! [Outro] I can only sell you today. And honestly? Today is expensive. Sorry.
