Dinosaur

electricbrainelectricshadow2 A nice piece of progressive-inspired rock, very accessible but with a good sense of movement and dynamic through the song. Reminds me a bit of Mew or Pinback but slightly more explicitly prog.

lyrics

Churning through all of the chum
Until there's nothing left to live for
Sifting through all of the crumbs
Until there's nothing left upon your plate
Until it's knocking at your door

The collector takes what it owes
(I will never leave you, I will never leave)
It will keep you on your toes
It will take a pound of your flesh
(I will take a piece, and then a little more)
‘Till we're extinct just like a dinosaur

I'll retreat inside my head
The bitter taste will see me through
And you'll go tremble in your bed
As the lights all go out

Grey clouds
And rain
The heat
I feel the pain
No life
No words
Absurd

There's never been another way
There's nothing else to say
There's nothing there between you and me

Pummelling into submission
(And you can never breathe, and you can never leave)
You'll just fall on your face
Just keep on fading out without a trace
There's no return

Blame me
I didn't take heart
Use me
It's what I long for
Amuse me
With kills on the blood floor
Control me
‘Cuz I'm your abuse whore
A worthless son

Battering every bone in your body
(You will never lift it, never lift the weight)
Always deadens your eyes

Fattening every single thought in your head
(Until you believe it, you believe the hype)
All your goodness is dead

I'll retreat inside my head
The bitter taste will see me through
And you'll go tremble in your bed
As the lights all go out

I'll forget what we both said
Just what was it all for
Just what was it for

We'll never make it right
All revolt, all my fault
Maybe it's now or never
Aim right at the head
At the head, just shoot it dead
Before it's all lost forever
Sensing
One more chance, our last dance
We can't change us

It's just what we are
What we are
It's just what we are
What we are
