lyrics

I was born on a standpipe
Flopping onto land like
The creature from the Flint lagoon

Michigan she raised me
A wolf and a baby
Kill our food and howl at the moon

I've been called a body resurrected at the foot of Krakatoa
A tape delay echo of a supernova
A wave of radiation burning shadows into pavement like a

Like an atom
Like an atom

I used to believe them but that's all over
What I really am is dislocating my shoulder
Pulling frantically against the straitjacket's hold
Over a case of undiagnosed claustrophobia

Like an atom
Like an atom

'Cause I'm smart
But I ain't rich
I think it's safe to say you don't know who you're messing with
Do you know who you're messing with?

I'm gonna kill this city
Slit its skyline and bleed its streets
There's malice in its shadows and it's taken all my pride from me

And I've been called a lazy hypochondriac who can't get a real job
An overeducated and potential wasting art snob
Trying to learn to farm while stumbling naked in the garden like I'm

Like I'm Adam
Like I'm Adam

I used to believe them but that's all over
I used to believe them but that's all over
I used to believe them but that's all over

I am everything I am
Everything I am everything
I am everything I am
Everything I am everything
I am everything I am
Everything I am
Everything
I am everything

I'm an atom
I'm an atom
