[Verse 1]
Learning at the knee of my mother
Food for fashion, food for fuel
Kneeling at the feet of my maker
Granted compassion, branded the fool
Turning to the side of the others
Angelic assassin, angelic tune
Yearning at the sight of the lovers
Quick to unfasten, quick to use

[Chorus]
Oh, I am as I was before
Oh, why am I as I was before?
Oh, I am
Oh, I am

[Verse 2]
Telling on one telling another
Human nature petty feud
Come undone and put it together
Imperfect creature, perfеct cure
Depending on onе over the other
From creation absolute
Sticking to a trick not to suffer
Quickly triumphant, quick to lose
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Oh, I am as I was before
Oh, why am I as I was before?
Oh, I am
Oh, I am

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Oh, I am as I was before
Oh, why am I as I was before?
Oh, I am
Oh, I am
