Lyrics
Mongk II
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sacrifice your eyes to blindness
Look into hills and chaos and destroy yourself
You are unworthy of
Breathing the air
Yeah, you gotta beat it out, gotta beat it out yourself
Breathe in time to the rhythm in the well
Gotta lose yourself, gotta lose yourself to it
Be in mind don't be in touch with it
And don't place yourself before the bushman
A fungal farm
And don't raise yourself up above the inuits or gorilla
Yeah, you gotta beat it out, gotta beat it out yourself
Breathe in time to the echo in the well
Gotta scare yourself 'till you don't know where you're at
Give it up, there is no why
Ever lost in love, ever lost in time
Ever lost your mind, there is no why
I don't believe in you but you believe in me, ah
(good)
You're an animal you're a homorapien
There it is but you don't know where it is
Elevated primatemaia
And you can't stop dancing till you call an ambulance
Call an ambulance
The human nature show has got no place to go
It's all just effigies and girls in magazines
I'm crawling out of my head, not getting anywhere
While you were getting down just like an animal, ah
Gotta lose yourself, gotta lose yourself to it
Gotta rock in time back to 798
Gotta lose yourself, gotta lose yourself to it
See, you're coming down, so you bring it down
(don't look)
Ah, ah, ah
