"Carbon" lyrics

"Carbon"

All I ever wanted was to rave like a gothic
I would dance like I never had a name
But history's absolving and the systems not responding
You got everything you wanted what's real

I am just carbon
Fueled by conscious
Afraid to get killed
I might have been a mountain
Laughing at the lion
Alone on the hill

You're the first to blame who broke it, the last one seen holding
I am desperately choosing where to hide
Let the rivers boil on Christmas morning
Eternally locked in tornado warnings
And you're just left with the feeling

Baby, I said, baby
Baby, it's a dangerous
Baby, it's a dangerous
Baby, it's a dangerous world

Now sing for me the serpent, keep telling me its worth it
Buy me off and lay me down to rest

I am just carbon
Fueled by conscious
Afraid to get killed
I might've been the mountain
Laughing at the lion
Alone on the hill

I am just carbon
