"Animal Surgery" lyrics

"Animal Surgery"

Fear, close the heart again
Are you alive? You don't trust the light
Running through the past, now I'm bored of this race
Blame it on the cash 'til the cord is ripped away
Numbers get bigger, and how bitter success tastes
I'll tell you 'bout the time when we gave it all away

Did you grow a spine in the grave? (Grow a spine in the grave)
You still got nothing to say
You're droppin' out of the play (Bowing out)
I pull a habit out the hat, like I'm allowed
In the fanatical interior of who I am
I'm in the band now, I'm allowed to top off all of these
Countless, countless mouths that I call friends

Lay low, you might go psycho
Uh-oh, the bottle's always glued to your hands
Lay low, you might go psycho
Uh-oh, the bottle's always glued to your hands
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
I got a feeling that you never gave a damn (Never gave a damn)
I got a feeling that you never even gave it a chance

My life, I got past ones
The speed of a stream
The motion of shifting to new songs
Feel your ghost in the breeze
I paint a picture with my burnin' eyes closed
I see an image of the band we could be
I won't stop it if I'm owning my road
I won't stop it, this path for me

What I value, I can't trust in you
What I value, I can't trust in you

Never should've laughed, now we're fourth or fifth place
Murder in the black 'cause we slit the thick vein
Run to the printer, heart broke the sixth chain
Ran into a smack, but the hand evaporates

Do you daydream every day? (Do you daydream every day?)
You lost your mind at the rave
You're out here talking to Dave (Don't tell Dave)
We're not getting complacent
But don't want to appease
If they're clapping, tell me what a disaster was
"I don't know how to leave"

Lay low, you might go psycho
Uh-oh, the bottle's always glued to your hands
Lay low, you might go psycho
Uh-oh, the bottle's always glued to your hands
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
I got a feeling that you never gave a damn (Never gave a damn)
I got a feeling that you never even gave it a chance

So cut me open, I've got nothing left to hide
Analyze all my history, and read between the lines
Claw your hide like an animal in a habitat you won't survive
No, I can't be malcontent when I come from the divine

(Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
No one hears a word that you speak
(Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
When you're in the midst of a retreat
(Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's a hope that you cannot replete
(Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
So give it up and take a seat

We can't restart, I forget who we are
I can't reflect, there's no incentives left (Give it up and take a seat)
Got so bloody, made it grow
DGD is evil
Who's so ugly? Throwing stones
DGD is peaceful
