lyrics

be you animal or close enough kin
we are edible brain and beautiful skin
save me from the trouble
you are nothing special or a gift
we are nothing more than products of the dice our parents rig

and if we could kick our pedestals
we could see it all

we're nothing more than metronomes
wire and bone and simple pulse

be you accident or terrible sin
we are capable of holding it in
save me from the terror
am i just a worm inside a can?
we are nothing more than houses for whatever hides within

and if we could kick our pedestals
see how far the rope around us goes
watch our little lives flash as we fall
we could see it all

we're nothing more than swimming pools
water and blood and chemicals
am i a shell or something more?
am i a system with a soul?
