lyrics

Your fight or flight
Survival, survival
Survive this

Your fight or flight
Survival, survival
Survive the moon

Your fight or flight
Survival, survival
Survive the flesh

Your fight or flight
Survival, survival
Survive this

No I'm not a sacred tree of
The many merry bees
No, you have to be kidding
It a hopeless sugar pill for the homeless
And a suit for the sick

Don't tell me, don't tell me
What I am

I'm not a secret fantasy
More like a singed feeling
Number 853 exiting
To the bottom of the well

Don't tell me, don't tell me
What I am

A slumbering sycophant
Is not who I want to be

Don't be me
I am free

No, I'm not a thousand sons
I'm just the only one
I'm not even listening
I am phosphorous and evergreen
Collecting dust
On a rusty shelf

Don't tell me, don't tell me
What I am

No matter how many times I try
I still blink like bats
And am hollow inside
I sit with the rats
And hear them say
"You're on your way"

But, don't tell me, don't tell me
What I am

A dancing deliriant
Is not who I want to be
But it's got all I really need
I am free

So I tripped the power lines
And ran into the ocean
Opened this painted box
Found some strange portion
And I carved out the heavy heart
With a needle full of emotion
I called out the oligarch
Now I'm in devotion

And I'm learning to fly
I'll eat you alive

And I broke the seamstress's mind
With a half-cracked smile
And I heard my monster cry
So I passed him the bottle
And I told him not to try
That's gotten me so little
I forgot all his promises to me
Now hear my ass rattle

And I shriek and I bite
I'll eat you alive

Cause I fight for the restless urn
I fall for the cupboard
Stuck my head in the freezer
Slid down from the gutters
Now I'm wearing the suit of God
And I'll have no more fevers
Take from only what I've got
Be the star-child of Never

With your feet in the sky
I'll eat you alive
