The Killing
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.
If in fact we’re all just ordinary animals
Is our consciousness our own disease?
Did we mean to create adversaries?
Typical
The trap we set is our own belief
Bodies continue to fall
The killing’s taking over
There is no end to it all
Don’t sit back and wait ‘til the killing is over
There is no place to hide
‘Til the killing is over
Commence with the killing
If in fact we’re just the start of something historical
Maybe we need to get to the next scene
Let our cells divide themselves while we go for a ride
As we roll we laugh at our old things
Bodies continue to fall
The killing’s taking over
There is no end to it all
Don’t sit back and wait ‘til the killing is over
There is no place to hide
‘Til the killing is over
Commence with the killing
No matter what you do
You are the problem too
Banging our heads ‘til they shrink
Circular Insanity
Bodies continue to fall
The killing’s taking over
There is no end to it all
Don’t sit back and wait ‘til the killing is over
There is no place to hide
‘Til the killing is over
Commence with the killing
Dig our way down inside
With a fist on the ground and a finger to the sky
There is no place to hide
Commence with the killing
Dig our way down inside
With a fist on the ground and a finger to the sky
There’s no place to fucking hide
Commence with the killing
