The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I’m resistant now to change

Feeling different can be very strange

I’m feeling a compelling urge

To enact some kind of purge

It’s not like me to feel this way

It’s not like me to feel this way

Cruel compensation, cruel compensation

Living a lie gets so easy to take

Because time has no friends no beginning or end

Perpendicular anomalies

Crowd my space and sap my energies

Take my weapon before I forget

And do somеthing that we both regret

It’s not likе me to feel this way

It’s not likе me to feel this way

It’s not likе me to feel this way

Cruel compensation, cruel compensation

Dynamite to the intellect, with an NDA

Not to resurrect, but to purify, not eliminate

Through a mental disorder we struggle to elevate

I‘m resistant now to change, feeling different can be strange

I am feeling a compelling urge, to enact some kind of purge

It‘s not like me to feel this way

It‘s not like me to feel this way

Dignity for the human race

Is like getting a leather boot in the face

It‘s an insult— that no one should ever have to

Take from the man who shouts out a command for

Respect and compliance— an act of defiance is

Everything— but it‘s never enough

Without energy— it‘s the only acceptable

Answer— and it‘s never enough

And it feels like it‘s going to be tough

Deficit and corrupted

Like an effigy without a soul-less intervention

With every intention of doing the wrong thing

And do it again and again and again to be

Sure that the damage is done

Cruel compensation— harsh situation

Deep penetration— serious resignation

It‘s not like me to— it’s not like me to

Feel this way— feel this way

It‘s not like me to— it’s not like me to

Feel this way— feel this way

It’s not like me to

Feel this, feel this, feel this, feel this, feel

Don’t make me do things that we’ll both regret

Saying things that I know I will soon forget

Paying the dividends, paying the dividends get what you get

Everything needs to get turned upside, turned upside down

It‘s not like me to
