Reptile
Reptile
There are no wires connecting your heart
To you head and your hands
So where should you start?
There are no satellites guiding you home
So careful as you tread
In this carnival of souls
Don’t let your blood run cold
This is not a city that learns to forgive
This is the place where cold hearts live
Feeding off your friends and hang out late
Everybody wants it, but nobody waits
Don’t let your blood run cold
I’m turning into a reptile
Sitting alone on park bench
Just like a reptile
Closer than I’ve ever dreamt
Reptile
I am not afraid of losing my mind
As long as it happens a day at a time
My skin will grow thick my eyes will grow bright
And my face will grow long
It’s a terrible sight
Don’t let your blood run cold
They say I’m just like a reptile
Sitting alone on a park bench
Just like a reptile
Closer than I have dreamt
See me sitting alone
Taking the sun
Out on the bench
So I’m turning into a reptile
Closer than I’ve ever dreamt
Reptile
So don’t let the coast fall in
When it gets a little alone
And don’t let your blood run cold
I’m turning into a reptile
Sitting alone on park bench
Just like a reptile
Closer than I’ve ever dreamt
Reptile
Sitting alone on park bench
Just like a reptile
Closer than I’ve ever dreamt
See me sitting alone
Taking the sun
Out on the bench
So I’m turning into a reptile
Closer than I’ve ever dreamt
Reptile
Just like a reptile
