"Carnage" lyrics

"Carnage"

Off the side of the road
Branches trimmed and grasses mowed
There is a snake with his head disposed

Toad hops out of the briar
And underneath my spinning tire
There he remains emulsifier

Accidental damage
Casually maimed
Incidental carnage
Collateral pain

Bird smacks into the glass
Shaking, heaving heavy gasps
Settling down, she heaves her last

Fawn gets caught in my fence
Trying to clear but slams against
With every leap a bloodied mess

Accidental damage
Casually maimed
Incidental carnage
Collateral pain
