The Haystack Principle

This is not my home
 It's where I'm locked away
 It's in my design
 It's not my circuitry
 This is not who I am
 You'll never see me
 behind this killer's face
 These aren't my hands
 These needles take their place
 Was this all part of the plan
 Would you believe this isn't me
 That what you get isn't what you see
 I'm not a bad guy
 I'm just designed that way
 No matter what I try
 I can't help but hurt those close to me
 And I can't see a way out this time
 Wait, get to the point
 It's hard to blame them
 I even scare myself
 Built to kill seems to
 be detrimental to my health
 I guess I should have known
 He's on his way down
 I hear him just above
 I guess it's his job
 When pushing comes to shove
 At least I won't be alone
 Would you believe this isn't me
 That what you get isn't what you see
 Deep underground, ten miles down
 A man stands below the city he will destroy...
 Stop
 How can I retract these claws
 Those are your hands
 You can't take back the damage you cause
 How can I take off this mask
 That is your face
 You can't remove the fear you cast
 How can I turn off this hatred that fills my eyes
 You can't shut down where your path lies
 When can I stop being bad
 That is who you are
 If that's who I am
 Then I'll fight who I am!
 I'm not a bad guy
 I'm just designed that way
 No matter what I try
 I can't help but hurt those close to me
 And now I see a way out this time
