'Nuff said?

Robin Abess, Randy Brown, Jon Haight, Les Howard, Brian Jackey, Jeremy Jackson & Jennifer Lewis, Michael Khandelwal, Josh Logan, Stephany McNulty, Scot Mealy, Ame Morris, Amy Stuart, Scott & Melanie Wienhusen, and John R Woollard.

lyrics

Maybe I’m not broken, maybe I’ve got time to change
Maybe that’s what started this whole mess.
Maybe I’m a robot, soulless circuits rearranged
And maybe somehow I don’t know it yet.

But someone is there behind the curtain
So maybe my real purpose is to try and pull it back…

Cause no one is ever truly bad. And no one is ever truly good.
And somewhere in this chaos is the variant we need
Between the things we want and things we should.

Somehow I’m behind the scenes, turned left at reality.
Verified each word I ever said.
Something that I said or did wasn’t what was meant to be,
But what if it was good for me, instead?

I don’t know who’s behind the curtain…
So maybe my real purpose is to try and pull it back…

Cause no one is ever truly bad. And no one is ever truly good.
And somewhere in this chaos is the variant we need
Between the things we want and things we should.

What if I’m not who I think? What if I’m some other me?
What if I’m an alligator thirsty for blood?
What if just a comic book is all the world will ever see?
What if I’m a hero, now? What if I’m in love?

If anyone is there behind the curtain…
Maybe my real purpose is to try and pull it back…
Cause no one is ever truly bad. And no one is ever truly good.
And somewhere in this chaos is the variant we need
Between the things we want and things we should.
