Biology 05:38
Them animals they walk, us animals we talk We're all apologies for our biology Them animals they walk, us animals we talk I'm all apologies for my biology We've all got these places, got these spaces in our heads where we conjure up the worst crimes, all the best kinds in our hell Find me, wrap me up, tie me in vices, you'll oblige me, then purge me of (my) sins Bury your face in it, 'till they find you out

Twelve days to fall back in place, come weekend, the house melts away Fingers hardly crossed, just seeing "fail safe" at best, behind gritted teeth, I mutter "fuck you" right back As time inches onward, I sink I flail not, just sit there, and blink Through thick and thin, I'm "fail safe" at best If it's up to me, let's soak him right back Twenty-three days it'd been, dignity came and left again Fingers hardly crossed, just seeing "fail safe" at best, still we just can't help how ... ...time inches onward, I sink I flail not, just sit there, and blink To you, this is how it should be, they say that indifference is key Through thick and thin, I'm "fail safe" at best If it's up to me, let's soak him right back As time inches onward, I sink I flail not, just sit there, and blink To you, this is how it should be, they say that indifference is key I won't expect a goddamn thing

We keep going around, we keep going till it has been done We keep trucking towards the end of this means, then another, and another 'till we cease to be We keep going around, we keep going till this thing gets old, we're treading past all the lows to the highs, they don't tell you it's a bunch of middle, then the engine dies Here it's brown, and there it's green We trade our roots for luck and seeds, we'll keep going around, we'll keep going around We keep going around (till it gets) We keep going around (till it gets old) You're treading past all the lows to the highs, you don't know it's a bunch of middle, then the gas runs dry Here it's brown, and there it's green We trade our roots for luck and seeds, we'll keep going around, we'll keep going around

The eve rolls 'round, finally here and you're beaming Back to our teens, all your twenties have robbed you blind They can't conceive that we're both in attendance I'd leave my hive if no one ever asked me why You leap towards skies, will you ever fall faster? I swallow it whole that you won't ever land, after all Looking back, I never thought you'd say (that) it's so, so early on Going forth, I'll stay in line, you'll keep me in my place Four years of fortune reads, words I'd come to live by were nothing more than make-believe, the vision now retired The scene plays on, spins round and round, for days I try and try to keep these thoughts at bay Looking back, I never thought you'd say (that) it's so, so early on Going forth, I'll stay in line, you'll keep me in my place Four years of fortune reads, words I'd come to live by were nothing more than make-believe, the vision now retired

Nicolae 04:53
Caught in the wind now, dripping away You got your will, where I got my way Shittin' up crimes, all slithers and flakes, you've got no marks now, you've got no blame We're amazed how you're a waste now, ain't too fazed how you're a waste now All about your own way.... Tuggin' those reigns, you don't wanna talk about it Caution me back, I'll know that you're right about it Take your sweet time, gone 'round, it ain't ever coming Swallow, step down, and pray this'll be worth something Give 'em Barabbas, paint him a saint 'long as there ain't bruising, you're there to stay Ten-to-none victory, it don't change a thing None-to-ten heartbreak, your loss is a win We're amazed how you're a waste now, ain't too fazed how you're a waste now All about your own way.... Tuggin' those reigns, you don't wanna talk about it Caution me back, I'll know that you're right about it Take your sweet time, gone 'round, it ain't ever coming Swallow, step down, and pray this'll be worth something We waltz around the bend, through all that this has been, we waltz around the bend We waltz around the bend, through all that we have been, we waltz around the bend
