"Won't Come Back The Same" lyrics
JT Music Lyrics
(Reanimal Rap)
Ahem
There is no fairy found in this tale
For this one's on a biblical scale
Now, let us embark, without any Ark
Right into the mouth of the whale
Noah's nowhere to be found, did we miss the boat?
We're still above ground, at least we can float
Here come all the sharks, I know what they smell
The blood in the water that poisoned the well
Cometh a flood, intervention divine
Animals spared in pairs at a time
But we, unrepentant, are one of a kind
No wonder they left us behind
I got a knot in the pit of my stomach (Ah)
Which had to be hunger, but was it? (Nah)
Or a bug that I caught, corruptin' my thoughts?
Gotta get to the bottom of it
"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"
I'm the child they put on that poster
Call it propaganda, but it's true
The knife in your back is the one you should use
Cruisin' for a bruisin', tell me, who's punchin' your ticket?
Are we crabs stuck inside a bucket? (Nah)
One of us should volunteer to kick it
Isn't conflict a bit like inclement weather?
Cloudin' the world and we're all getting wetter
It's in our nature, we're nothin' better
Than beasts, every one of us birds of a feather
But when did this mess get so hairy?
There's unrest in the pet cemetery
'Round here, the dead never stay buried
Same can be said for some memories
So beware, remembering can be scary
When regret and revenge are married
Even in death, you can not repress it
Reanimated with unnatural selection
Oh, no, you thought I was broken?
Thrown to the wolves, now they're all chokin'
Damn my humanity, I'll stoop below it
People are evil and don't even know it
They smile at their sheep, as they feed 'em fodder
Some teeth don't seem to belong to a monster
But in the end, what if the lamb's the one leading them to the slaughter?
Knock me down, I'll show you I'm a fighter
I won't be washed out with a little rain
Because I'll climb like an itsy-bitsy spider
And every time, I'll return to the top
But I won't come back the same
Ahe-he-hem
It is for certain you will not find
Any nursery in my rhymes
Both comfort and care, are costumes I wear
You wanna know what they hide?
What an odious, arduous odyssey (Ew)
Riddled with skin-crawling oddities (Ooh)
Hope nobody forgot a backbone
As we cross an ocean of monstrosities
Where the tide'll take us, none can foretell
But I'll be employin' my oar well
Rowin' merrily down dystopian shores
I feel at home when I'm going to war
An eye for an eye undoes all harm done
It's dog-eat-dog on Old McDonald's farm, run
You wanna become the way that we are?
Simply wish upon a fallen star
Gotta join 'em if you can't beat 'em
Then from within, you can begin to eat 'em
What did we learn from the Garden of Eden?
When there is one to blame, God'll get even
Give in to your unholy appetite
'Cause you never fell, you were sacrificed
Listen to your gut when it growls
Swallowing the truth can be foul
Forget apples, a rabbit'll do
You think you have hunger but hunger has you
Go on, try to mask it, but there's a savage
Shape in the shadow cast from your casket
Some things just never die, like an instinct that you can't deny
When amygdalas have been set alight
Feel it bubblin' up, is it fight or flight?
When you're battered, abandoned, and left in the cold
Rage is a fire, burnin' bright and bold
Don't bottle it, only so long it can hold
What'll become of it with nowhere to go?
They thought I was dead
Now a ghost before their eyes
Like a walking corpse no less
Brought back to lord over flies
The poison within us was always innate
There exists no antidote
'Cause when we cannot rebuild, we break
Now suffer this anecdote
I once had a buddy named Johnny (Ooh)
Like a brother, but treated me awfully (Boo)
So, one day I said, "I'll not be your friend 'til after they have to embalm me"
Then I left him behind, and did myself proud
Life is totem pole, don't get put down
Followers are always swallowed by the crowd
Johnny, you listenin'? Look at me now
Knock me down, I'll show you I'm a fighter
I won't be washed out with a little rain
Because I'll climb like an itsy-bitsy spider
And every time, I'll return to the top
But I won't come back the same
Now let's all dance on Johnny's grave
There is no fairy found in this tale
For this one's on a biblical scale
Now, let us embark, without any Ark
Right into the mouth of the whale
Noah's nowhere to be found, did we miss the boat?
We're still above ground, at least we can float
Here come all the sharks, I know what they smell
