lyrics

When I slit my wrists with Occam's razor,
sometimes the world just seems so bittersweet
But I can't lie to myself
Oh no, I slit my wrists with Occam's razor
How could a higher power let this bloodshed in the streets?

All alone
Shacked up in a bomb shelter
Still stocked up on supplies
From the days when we thought the world would end
With a mushroom-shaped cloud and a mustachioed man
With his finger on the giant red button

It would set the world aflame!
Now the world's been set aflame!

And they said, don't you know
They've been saying it for years
The end is coming, yeah, the end is near
So then rejoice in the destruction
The fulfillment of your prophecies
As twisted and mangled as one of the horde

Repent, ye sinners, one and all
And see where that'll leave you
See if it prevents your fall
You say, "pray for a better day"
But those days are gone
In this world of death and decay
If there's no tomorrow, then live for today

When I slit my wrists with Occam's razor,
sometimes the world just seems so bittersweet
But I can't lie to myself
Oh no, I slit my wrists with Occam's razor
Waiting for guidance will be mankind's defeat

All alone, still alone
I wonder, "what will I become?"
Nothing to learn, nothing to gain
There's nothing to be done
Maybe it's fate that I'll be the last to die
The last bastion of hope, the last sane one alive

Am I the only sane one left alive?
The only one alive?

And they said, repeated
Like a broken record in my head
That girl is trouble and you're better off alone instead
And they were right, or so I thought
'Cause now I'm left needing
Someone to love, someone, anyone at all

Repent, ye sinners, one and all
And see where that'll leave you
See if it prevents your fall
You say, "pray for a better day"
But those days are gone
In this world of death and decay
If there's no tomorrow, then live for today

Live for today!
Live for today!
Live for today!
Live for today!

When I slit my wrists with Occam's razor,
sometimes the world just seems so bittersweet
But I can't lie to myself
Oh no, I slit my wrists with Occam's razor
And the simple solution is admitting defeat
