Lyrics
Centipede

This has to be a joke
I don't accept what's going on
Let me resign
Detected a bloop
Wanna avoid the exercise
This has to be the moment of a catastrophic age
Everyone is evading the sighs
But who knows the game goes on today
By twice the speed of gravity
Worn out by my depravity
I'm breathing in disunity
And breathing out insanity
I'm trapped inside infinity
And have lost sight of a trinity
I'm looking at fatality
Like a skeleton's eternity
This has to be the best of me
No words are yet engaged
Everyday I pick up a line
But it's gonna be the same as well
This has to be a breed of everlasting kind of things
Turns out to be a thorn in my wits
But who knows the game goes on today
December '95
Under waves of grain
Hiding caves of drain
But never going down
I should wipe the stain
Maybe what you are laughing at
Is making you so feeble
By twice the speed of gravity
Worn out by my depravity
I'm breathing in disunity
And breathing out insanity
I'm trapped inside infinity
And have lost sight of a trinity
I'm looking at fatality
Like a skeleton's eternity
