Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
[PreChorus]
Poison's in my bloodstream
The poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion
I'll settle for lies (I'll settle for lies)
[Chorus]
Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire?
Imprisoned by the thought of what to do
Is it any wonder that my joke's in ire?
And the joke's on you
[Verse 2]
Experiments that failed too many times
Transformations that were too hard to find
[PreChorus]
Poison's in my bloodstream
Poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion
I'll settle for lies (I'll settle for lies)
[Chorus]
Yes, I know the secrets of the iron and mind
They're trinity acts, a mineral fire
Yes, I know the secrets of the circuitry mind
It's a flaming wonder telepath
[Verse 3]
Well, I've opened up my veins too many times
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind
[PreChorus]
Poison's in my bloodstream
Poison's in my pride
I'm after rebellion
I'll settle for lies (I'll settle for lies)
[Chorus]
Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire?
Imprisoned by the thought of what to do
Is it any wonder that my joke's in ire?
And the joke's on you
[Outro]
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
And the joke's on you
