Hey man, don't you know it's fine?
Going it almost alone is alright
I thought I could trust you, but you lied
I cut my teeth on you too many times
Give yourself a pat on the back
Cut open my head, only you can
I'm a bit scared around you
I'm not gonna lie
Now you got that hideous strength
To cut me up in the middle of an ice rink
I'm a bit scared around you
I'm not gonna lie
I can't tell what lurks inside
You pushed in too many times
Culling people in the streets
I fall for their talk and I admit defeat
Give yourself a pat on the back
Cut open my head, only you can
I'm a bit scared around you
I'm not gonna lie
Now you got that hideous strength
To cut me up in the middle of an ice rink
I'm a bit scared around you
I'm not gonna lie
A couple seconds from now, we'll be scrubbed from the media
Every fracture, all the brain damage and broken jaws
Living life trapped in photos of the cold
To think I dreamed that I'd grow old
Give yourself a pat on the back
Cut open my head, only you can
I'm a bit scared around you
I'm not gonna lie
Now you got that hideous strength
To cut me up in the middle of an ice rink
I'm a bit scared around you
I'm not gonna lie
Hey man, don't you know it's fine?
Going it almost alone is alright
