lyrics

Dull
Fool myself
Drain my heart, poison well

We’ll absolve our speech in every direction
Conversation killed the connection

Pull myself
Catapult, stain my health

We’ll absolve our speech in every direction
Conversation killed the connection

Save my soul
Grind my teeth
Yeah, I am an animal

Feel the vultures pick from every direction
Conversation killed the connection

Save my soul
Feel the vultures pick from every direction
Conversation killed the connection

We can’t speak
No desire
You waste time
Yeah, I see through it all
Our mouths close
There’s no fire
You waste time and on and on and on…

Yeah, I am an animal
Here, the floorboards creak in every direction
Conversation killed the connection

We can’t speak
No desire
You waste time
Yeah, I see through it all
Our mouths close
There’s no fire
You waste time and on and on and on…

Save, save my soul

We can’t speak
No desire
You waste time
Yeah, I see through it all
Our mouths close
There’s no fire
You waste time and on and on and on and on…
