The Way Things Are


Welcome to my land
It's an island far away
No one comes in contact
No ship has ever dared to stay

It's filled with vile and venom
But the natives, they've escaped
I don't know who had sent 'em
But now they're full of hate

I never wanted it to be this way
Never wanted things to be this way

Welcome to my home
It's a house that's in the trees
I communicate with smoke signs
Cause I refuse to skin my knees

I was born into this kingdom
As alone as I am now
I don't know who had pinned 'em
But the rest got out somehow

I never wanted it to be this way
Never wanted things to be this way

But I can be your monster for today
I can be the thing you push away
If you have a problem, just take an open shot
I'd tell you what I think of it, but it looks like I forgot

I never wanted it to be this way
I never wanted it to be this way

So many things you'll never let me say
I never wanted it to be this way
Never wanted things to be this way
