lyrics

There is an animal
With antlers and one feather
The littlest wings and faces three and counting
Whoever is the cannibal
Will save us all the same
Can you think of a way to keep the wolves at bay

But can you love like a mother
Can you make forgiving sounds
Turn this thing counterclockwise
Say everything will be just fine
Or will we float like a shipwreck
So much to be misguided by
Someday they will excavate us
And wonder how we breathed underground

Now are you indescribable
Or is there just nothing to say
You’re rudderless, free of sound
A little goes a long way, that’s what you tell yourself
You’ve been captaining a lifeboat, like everything depends
It's in your interaction, to barely stay adrift
You're reading the script, but you miscast the self

But can you love like a father
On second thought, that’s all we can
We’ll commandeer this elevator
Cuz we’re the kings of ups and downs
Now your vital signs are synthetic
I think you took the wrong way down
We’re animals posed as soldiers
Just get some feet back on the ground
