Can't imagine
What possibly went wrong
I heard it but I don't believe it

The way his face bends
The way he's hurting now
You blame it all don't look at me

While I pity them
I can't keep from singing la ti da
Hope they don't hear me

After the fall
I pray, give thanks that it isn't me
Lucky boy I am

Crush the bodies on the ground
It's so terrible I know
Watch him wither and reach out
He's going quietly right now
But the smile barely shows
And I'm happy cause I've found
That the victim is not me
So I kicked him
While he's on the ground

Charming praises
So warmly wish them well
You say it but you don't believe it
Cause with you accusations
Your confidence, your plan
It's a shame
You'd trip them if you could conceal it

Crush the bodies on the ground
It's so terrible I know
Watch him wither and reach out
He's going quietly right now
But the smile barely shows
And I'm happy cause I've found
That the victim is not me
So I kicked him
While he's on the ground

Found out a better name
That typifies your apathy
Judas you're not alone
You're brave now
Don't turn away
I'm hurting you to save me
Sadists you're not alone

Always prepared
Place the bodies there to break your fall
I think they should save me
But when the onslaught flies
Pierce the empty frame outside
Consider this of you

Crush the bodies on the ground
It's so terrible I know
Watch him wither and reach out
He's going quietly right now
But the smile barely shows
And I'm happy cause I've found
That the victim is not me
So I kicked him
While he's on the ground

Found out a better name
That typifies your apathy
Judas you're not alone
You're brave now
Don't turn away
I'm hurting you to save me
Sadists you're not alone

Can't imagine
What possibly went wrong
I heard it but I don't believe it

The way his face bends
The way he's hurting now
You blame it all don't look at me

While I pity them
I can't keep from singing la ti da
Hope they don't hear me

After the fall
I pray he thinks that it isn't me
Lucky boy I am

Crush the bodies on the ground
It's so terrible I know
Watch him wither and reach out
He's going quietly right now
But the smile barely shows
And I'm happy cause I've found
That the victim is not me
So I kicked him
While he's on the ground

And hiding all of me
Burned by three degrees
He said, confide in no one else
Found it hiding all of me
Burned by three degrees
It's better done myself
It's better done myself

Charming praises
Some only wish them well
You say it but you don't believe it

And when the onslaught flies
Pierce the empty frame outside
Consider this of you

Crush the bodies on the ground
It's so terrible I know
Watch him wither and reach out
He's going quietly right now
But the smile barely shows
And I'm happy cause I've found
That the victim is not me
So I kicked him
While he's on the ground

And hiding all of me
Burned by three degrees
He said, confide in no one else
Found it hiding all of me
Burned by three degrees
It's better done myself
It's better done myself
