The Scientist

But now because we live in a world that's so quantized
Everyone can hear when it's out of tune, because so much of the music we hear is so quantized
Put in tune

I'll be your marionette on my best behavior
Tucked down in your silhouette, maybe you can be my savior
Dropping new variants, feeding human nature
Save all my pirouettes for a time I'm scared of failure

Nothing in this world matters more to me than all my family
They made peace long ago with any absence of my sanity

Stand on the backs of the children you've won over
Stand on the backs of the children you've won over
'Cause the muse hits hard as you're falling apart
The muse hits hard as you’re falling apart

Drop your new variants
Prey on human nature
Save all your pirouettes
For a time you’re scared of failure

Nothing in this world matters more to me than all my family
They made peace long ago with any absence of my sanity

Stand on the backs of the children you've won over
Stand on the backs of the children you've won over
'Cause the muse hits hard as you're falling apart
The muse hits hard as you’re falling apart

As you're falling apart
As you're falling apart

Show my teeth, kill the beast
Let me feast, holy water
Show my teeth, one last time
Show my teeth, kill the beast
Let me feast, holy water
Show my teeth, one last time

Stand on the backs of the children you've won over
Straight from the mouth of a goblin, give me closure
Stand on the backs of the children you've won over
Straight from the mouth of a goblin, give me closure
