[Verse 1] If you could see what's inside my head
You'd be disappointed
I'm just concentrating on not falling down
And not saying anything stupid

[Chorus] Oh why do you do it
Look under the surface
Try to find some kind of meaning
Reason or purpose

[Verse 2] The nameplate necklace around my neck
Bears the name of somebody I've never met
A name I pulled out of an unreadable book
It's purely phonetic

[Chorus] Oh why do you do it
Look under the surface
Try to find some kind of meaning
Reason or purpose

[Bridge] My leaking eyes are caused by the wind
It's a physical condition

[Chorus] Oh why do you do it
Look under the surface
Try to find some kind of meaning
Reason or purpose

[Verse 3] The world is sick and in my head
I'm just counting steps or letters in a name
From one to eleven and back again

Trying to get to a place
Where thought has been erased
By ritual systems
