lyrics

you exist outside the binary
of right and wrong
one foot in each with your colossus stride
but let’s not kid ourselves
you tilt more than a bit to one side

someone who makes me want to die
that’s just how you identify
what did we build out of chance
and some semblance of luck?
just a construct
a meaningless construct

you exist outside the binary
of true and false
one foot stomps on the other
in the world’s most awkward waltz

you center yourself
by entering yourself headfirst
and all other interested parties are underserved

someone who makes me want to die
that’s just how you identify
what did we build out of chance
and some semblance of luck?
just a construct
well here’s another construct
get fucked

baby, baby, baby, baby
such a very apt word
but we won’t carry this to term
