lyrics

Hey! can you see me running away from you?
Hey! it's my own weakness that I don't tell you.
Hey! don't know what to say, don't know what to say here
so I guess I'll just quit.

I'm looking at the future right now.
Just a test to see how it sounds.
This soliloquy shows the beast in me:
it's the Triton, the Zeus, hey hey, KAPOW!

Hey! a pox on such antic, affecting fantasies!
O, then I see Queen Mab then might have been with you.
Hey! and dreamers often lie as I see that you do,
So hand me the knife and I'll sever the ties with you!

I'm looking at the future right now.
Just a test to see how it sounds.
This soliloquy shows the beast in me:
We're gonna cut you, me and Mercutio.

Hey! Infatuation has it's peaks, my love.
Hey! but the passion is weak, no, this ain't love.
Hey, float like a butterfly, sting like a bee -
Hey! this is what you get for trusting me.

I'm looking at the future right now.
Just a test to see how it sounds.
This soliloquy shows the beast in me:
It's the pugilist and I love me.
