lyrics

Meeting the people
That sell away smiles
For the same reason
That a bear hibernates

Wires stripped and re-arranged

Meeting the people
That look away as you walk off
For the same reason
That the night blocks out light

Chemical compounds mixed and strange

Meeting the people
That run like water waste infused
For the same reason
A bat hides away during the day

No turnarounds within my range

Meeting the people
That side step faster from things that matter
For the same reason
That we all wanna sleep forever

Temptations within my brain

Now I know that you don't love me
And all I know is I don't need this

Now I know that you don't love me
And all I know is I don't need this
But now I know that I can't shake this
I can't shake this I can't shake this
