You're coming up the stairs, bring a chair, talk to your favorites

I swore I never doubt I'm your mouse, I'll make you famous

With my back against the wall, I've learned to crawl in tiny spaces

In my nest, I pray to you, oh God, please use my body for science

'Cause I'm creepin' up, and I can't come down

And I'm not so tall when the lights go out

You should see me now, I'm your vermin

Proud, as the weight falls off of me

I told another lie, fantasized, oh shit, you hate it

Ooh

But if I let you come inside, that's all

Right, 'cause I'm the mouse you created

Guilt covers my throat, and makes me fit in tiny places

So I give myself to you in hopes you'll take my pain away

'Cause I'm creepin' up, and I can't come down

And I'm not so tall when the lights go out

You should see me now, I'm your vermin

Proud, as the weight falls off of me

'Cause I've lost my faith, I forget about

All the rodents there on a different route

You should see my smile, though it took

A while, but the weight's come off of me

Left here in the basement, I'm sneaking out

My fears, I can't take them, I'm new to them now
