[Verse 1: Andy Hull]
You were like a drug to me
And I remember vividly the last few things you said
Waiting in a prison room, the view
The taste, the crooked moon again
Universally apparent
[Chorus 1]
Shaking like a man should never shake
I pulled a coin out from my breast
Pretending it could change you
If my captain ever died I'd be right here
Directing my attempt, pursuing absolution
I am not me
No, I am not me
[Verse 2]
Fair to me, and fair to you
I turned around and left
I guess that I a**umed that you would beg me
And from the shadow to the light
The God I know could not be tired
But I am such a separate story
[Chorus 2]
Stupid is as stupid does
And stupidly I pulled the plug on you
Finally stopped beating
Stupid is as stupid does
And somehow you'll forgive the both of us
The load that we still carry
I am not me
I am not me
I am not me
