Lyrics The Haystack Principle - The Megas

The Haystack Principle

This is not my home
It’s where I’m locked away
It’s in my design
It’s not my circuitry
This is not who I am
You’ll never see me
Behind this killer’s face
These aren’t my hands
These needles take their place
Was this all part of the plan?
Would you believe this isn’t me?
That what you get isn’t what you see?
I’m not a bad guy
I’m just designed that way
No matter what I try
I can’t help but hurt those close to me
And I can’t see a way out this time
Wait, get to the point
It’s hard to blame them
I even scare myself
Built to kill, seems to
Be detrimental to my health
I guess I should have known
He’s on his way down
I hear him just above
I guess it’s his job
When pushing comes to shove
At least I won’t be alone
Would you believe this isn’t me?
That what you get isn’t what you see?
I’m not a bad guy
I’m just designed that way
No matter what I try
I can’t help but hurt those close to me
And I can’t see a way out this time
Deep underground
Ten miles down
A man stands below the city he will destroy-
Stop
How can I retract these claws?
(Those are your hands
You can’t take back the damage you cause)
How can I take off this mask?
(That is your face
You can’t remove the fear you cast)
How can I turn off this hatred
That fills my eyes?
(You can’t shut down where your path lies)
When can I stop being bad?
That is who you are
(That is who you are)
If that’s who I am
Then I’ll fight who I am!
I’m not a bad guy
I’m just designed that way
No matter what I try
I can’t help but hurt those close to me
And now I see a way out this time
