lyrics

Concentric circles
of opportunities
I’d stretch out
my brave ambitious arms
But they go numb
Tingling with anxiety
Veins are snakes
That hand the Apple


And then a ghostly voice
Behind my sternum
Cowardly compell
Stay in your shell


Do not dare! Do not explore! Do not transgress!
Do not give in to the lure of excess
Icarus fell
He would have still maintained
his wings in good shape
If he’d stayed in his well


When all is spinning round and round
In this black deep hole in the ground
No action
No exciting smell
I’d rather put myself at ease
I let myself be embraced
By this amniotic peace
In order to eventually faint


I fool around
in the comfort zone
Astounded
I wonder
how it works
it's a vicious hard sedating dope
But why, why, why
magnetic fields still play
They call me “try, try, try”
Don’t waste your time in prayers


Poisoned words in a dismay cauldron
gossip slides down in the well
Suggesting me that when hope shines
I actually throw pearls to swines
So keep your cool
And read the rules
Wear lukewarm wool
Avoid sharp curves for the sake of rudeness
In this well, well, well,
Well, here I am honestly well
Well, well, well,
I feel consistent and well
And I goooooooo
It’s a go-go-go-go-go-go-goddamn shell
Goddamn shell
