[Cee-Lo]

Eyes filled with fire

Wish I was a better liar

It hurts when it's happening, and so I cry

The winter is even colder

I guess that I could have told ya

That I am safe and warm from the hell inside



[Chorus]

Karma (karma!)

Take me (take me!)

Karma (karma!)

Break me; I am, an open book



[Cee-Lo]

The drum beat of my heart is tribal

Oh the sweet sound of survival

Shouts serenade this voice forever more

The sun would have to be frozen

For anything out there opposing

Not to be left in its own blood on the jungle floor



[Chorus]

Karma (karma!)

Fight me (fight me!)

Karma (karma!)

Shake me; I am, an open book!

An open book



[Cee-Lo]

When I sing a song of peace

It soothes the savage beast

Even it understands that I understand at least

So you mortals just keep this in mind

This is the way I'm designed

And I am no power so I'll only die one time



[Chorus]

Karma (karma!)

Kill me (kill me!)

You have (karma!)

To kill me (kill me!)

I am, an open book

An open book
