Spat Out Spit

(الألبوم: After - 2015)

Now I'm sitting on the train, and I am peeling an orange
I look over nonchalantly at a woman; she is yawning
And though this sight is common, I am abruptly mesmerized
And it strikes me in this moment for the first time in my life
How strange we all are, animal hearts
Pumping that animal, animal blood

Was I born wild?
Have I been asleep this whole damn time? Dreaming up a life?
Will I awake to find that I'm deep in the woods?
And I'm snarling on all fours

I could be cracked open like a cartoon watermelon
Then you would see the solar system suspended in me
It's the same one in you that pulses and spins
We're just made of flecks of the heavens, spat out spit
We are filled with the gore from long before
And I'm through starting wars to make you see me a warrior

Was I born wild?
Have I been asleep this whole damn time? Dreaming up a life?

Some ancient answers have since been unearthed
Still all these abandoned buildings, they had to get built
And who were these architects who left their work?
I left my body in the bed but my head floated through the ceiling
I left my body in the bed

Was I born wild?
Have I been asleep this whole damn time? Dreaming up a life?
Will I awake to find that I'm deep in the woods?
And I'm snarling on all fours

Was I born wild?
Have I been asleep this whole damn time? Dreaming up a life?
Will I awake to find that I'm deep in the woods?
And I'm snarling on all fours

And my animal heart is pumping that animal, animal blood
