I'm not the type to step on ants.

I myself have been stepped on so many times

It's started to feel like my place.

I've failed to fit in into those nests that scrape the sky

Hunt in packs and act as though that proves we can't survive alone

And I guess we just evolved disgust for prevention of infection though

I've never understood what humans do and want

It's quite confusing to me to try to connect.

Never learned how I should feel, instincts somehow stunted
           C              D                G
Just seem haunted by my stupid urge to protect.
E          E7               Am
Until frustration makes me wish my teeth were sharp as yours
        D                                    G
Chew through their garage doors, these carnivores will no more use my heart
B                                Em
They'll call me crazy but their words all seem made-up to me
A7                                         D7
Maybe they just need more friendship like yours.

If you can see in shades of gray the colors are much clearer
         Am                   D                  G               Em
Oh, my friend, you've got a friend in me. Let's go and make more enemies.
   F#7                                  D
Although my eyes face forward, climb up on my shoulder, sure you'll see
    D7
my point of view. I'd bring you with me
      C             D               G                  Em
to my office in my pocket, but the world would put us down.

It's dangerous out here
