== Lyrics ==
     when will you realize you're already there?
     so watered down-your feelings have turned to mud.
     "love everybody" is destroying the value of
     all hate has got me nowhere
     I know I'm slipping, I know I'm slipping, I know I'm slipping away
     oh no, it is everything they said it was
     oh no, I am all the things they said I was
     when you get to heaven you will wish you you're in hell
     when will you realize, you're already here
     you'll thank us now that you have crossed over
     don't pick the scabs or you will never heal
     the world shudders as the worm gets its wings
     oh no, it is everything they said it was
     oh no, I am all the things they said I was
     then I got my wings and I never even knew it
     when I was a worm, thought I wouldn't get through it...
