(This Is) The Thing Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine

[Verse 1]
This is the thing about people
You never really know what's inside
Somewhere in the soul there's a secret
Hysteria grows where it was invited
This is the thing about fiction
How everything feeds on its paranoia
Wrapping it all up in tradition
Now fill up the cup, go and drink your poison

[Chorus]
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
So give it all up, give it distance
Live it up for the path of resistance

[Verse 2]
This is the thing about confusion
You never really know what you'll find
You tell me what it means to be human
The freedom you seek is to free your mind

[Chorus]
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence
So give it all up, give it distance
Live it up for the path of resistance
