"Squirrel vs Snake" lyrics

Hoping legends stay that way
A failed William Tell
In a private gambler's hell
Squirrel versus snake
It only hurts when I'm awake
And all I can take
Is the sound of this empty room
I have assumed

All of my mistakes
The penalties were swift and just
I said you could trust me
And I lied
Now I'm sentenced to be petrified
And I'm changing solid states

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
You know, you know

That I'm guided
Don't trust no god who says he needs to be relied on
Or a government that says I should be spied on
Telling me why I should keep holding on

I'm paralyzed from the waist up
It's never enough
To detach the trackbacks from my latest dispatch
Paper versus match
I'm not afraid of the human race
But I'm starting to brace
For mid-air impacts
And oh, those collisions of course
But history can't be forced

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
They know, they know

That you're buying
The illusion's too complete for you to leave it
Every advertisement needs you to believe it
Telling you why you should keep holding on

Blow by blow
They sell you sand from an empty hourglass

The road to heaven now is paved
And Jesus has saved
The headliner we all know
For the holy halftime show
Turin versus shroud
And I'm speaking out loud
And outgunned as I'm quietly underwhelmed
Outnumbered slowly one by one
And hoping I'm less dumb

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
And they know you know they know
That you'll let them go

Don't need no god who tells me he should be relied on
Or a government that says I should be spied on
Telling me why I should keep holding on

I'm a furry, I'm a brony, I'm a breeder
I wasn't born to ever follow any leaders
Don't need nobody to tell me keep holding on
Yeah
Don't need you to tell me I should keep holding on
Yeah
