As Fate Undoes

People always told me to get far away from you
But I'm all alone, and you're alone
And I'm not ashamed
My hands in my front pockets
I can't do no' nothing wrong
But I'm obviously here 'cause I'm not up to any good

I can draw every shape
But I can't unpaint' your pain
Petrified—petrified as fate undoes you
I really wanna' watch and know all
I wanna' hear your thoughts
So I can't make this up!
You'll see me in another light

People always told me
There's some fascinating rule
About whom to save and whom to kill
I'm not sure if this is true
My hands in my front pockets
I can't do no' nothing wrong
But I'm obviously scared
So what am I supposed to say?

It could seem accidental—just a tiny slip
Just an inch to the left with the knife
'Cause it's not what you do
It's how it's perceived
But when they chase you
Be light on your feet
