lyrics

You have no idea the things I've seen
The things I've done at the places I've been
And those who want me dead still call me king
They can look away but they'll still hear me sing
I've accrued a power you could never claim
And I still hear whispered ripples of my name
The crowds still part when I come into view
But I can only hold my head so high 'cause I learned it from you

And it's not who I wanna be
Though each movement comes so easily
You're the kind of secret that I don't have to keep
Oh baby, androids dream of much worse things than just electric sheep

We both know you'd do well to take a knee
You'd rather not behold what's left of me
The acid scars and marks that made me numb
Once flowed so easily from your own tongue
You fought so hard to keep me at your heel
A silent threat of love hidden with steel
You made me think you'd lead me through the fog
But I can see now with my blinded eyes that I was just a dog

And it's not any longer strange
That we both ignored the winds of change
Marching ever faster as we delved in the deep
Oh baby, androids dream of much worse things than just electric sheep

Your throes of anger will see you undone
Think you're untouchable because you won
You've every right to fury, now you see
The same deceptions you once pulled on me
My heart of ice will guide my hands of frost
To put you in the snow at any cost
The irony is your own selfish flame
Is what made me merciless enough to finally stake my claim

And it's not about me at all
I took lives for you when you felt small
Split my skull in pieces as I drift off to sleep
Oh baby, androids dream of much worse things than just electric sheep
