Lyrics
0:09I love material but everything I love so quickly falls apart
0:15Keep it to myself and in my heart
0:18And I'm only as sick as my secrets
0:23So baby tell me what is my weakness?
0:26I called the therapist, she sent me to a circle to sort it out
0:32I've got my foot in my mouth
0:35My medicine stopped working for my sick soul
0:41Under the pressure, I fold
0:44And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
0:53This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
1:02And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
1:10This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
1:17I'm a material boy
1:19Deeply American, which is to say I'm deeply ashamed
1:25I wonder what the world would say?
1:28And I'm probably sick from my secrets
1:32Politically daft, but we're in deep shit
1:36Can't tell the circle that the red has got me paranoid
1:42Superiority keeps me annoyed
1:45It bears repeating that I'm sick and I can't quit
1:49No longer Christian, but I'm still afraid of judgement
1:54And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
2:02This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
2:12And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
2:20This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
2:27I'm a material boy
2:38I filled all my pockets
2:40Checked all the boxes
2:42I couldn't escape
2:44Still find myself obnoxious
2:47Prideful and godless
2:49Selfish and thoughtless
2:51Capital dream for material boy that
2:53I went and I lost it
2:58I went and I lost it all
3:04And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
3:12This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
3:21And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
3:28(it's a spiritual world, I'm a material boy)
3:30This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
3:36(it's a spiritual world, I'm a material boy)
I love material but everything I love so quickly falls apart Keep it to myself and in my heart And I'm only as sick as my secrets So baby tell me what is my weakness? I called the therapist, she sent me to a circle to sort it out I've got my foot in my mouth My medicine stopped working for my sick soul Under the pressure, I fold And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy I'm a material boy Deeply American, which is to say I'm deeply ashamed I wonder what the world would say? And I'm probably sick from my secrets Politically daft, but we're in deep shit Can't tell the circle that the red has got me paranoid Superiority keeps me annoyed It bears repeating that I'm sick and I can't quit No longer Christian, but I'm still afraid of judgement And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy I'm a material boy I filled all my pockets Checked all the boxes I couldn't escape Still find myself obnoxious Prideful and godless Selfish and thoughtless Capital dream for material boy that I went and I lost it I went and I lost it all And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void (it's a spiritual world, I'm a material boy) This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy (it's a spiritual world, I'm a material boy)
