"Rational Animal" lyrics

"Rational Animal"

All at once I was
And then I was no more
Rational animal
What are we fleeing for?

I was last seen
In your fever dream
Good riddance
Good riddance
What if my fate
Was slain in vain?
God willing
God

And then we must
My love they want
All apology all the time
And so we must
Cover, take cover
Wrap your body up in mine

I was last feared
Right before I disappeared
Good riddance
Good riddance
When they remember me to you
And what a fancy beast could do
Say how much you saved
Bottle my remains

When you leave that shit behind
When you leave that shit behind
When you decide you're sanctified
When you decide you're sanctified

I believe my own eyes
I believe my own eyes
I believe my own eyes
I believe my own eyes
I believe my own eyes
I believe my own eyes
I believe my own eyes
I believe my own eyes
See, see, see, see

My love they want
All apology all the time
And so we must
Cover, take cover
Wrap your body up in mine

Make it messy
Make it messy by the millions
They get so goddamn uncivil with civilians
Make it messy
Make it messy by the millions
They get so goddamn uncivil with civilians
All at once I was
And then I was no more
