Mimicking Birds
Lazy Leverage
[Verse 1]
We're perched down where the dirty layer of Earth
Cursed with a worth and a girth of unlimited size
Up, arise, the numb sum aloft
The dumbfounding kingdom
Some clumsy, stumbling stride

They're sublime if you strive high
And below it's dry
You get fried up and tied up
To the flesh-grinding assembly line

But still what you own drones with all the deep tones
Of the groaning gnomes from the hellhole
Beneath the grown, green shrine

[Pre-Chorus]
And who knows just how far you might go with the weight of you towing them
Carry with you
And who knows just how far you couldn't go with the weight of you towing them
Bury with you

[Chorus]
I'm the future
Reaper of the universe's
Sore sewn sutures
Healing, given an energy core
Boring future
With you enduring the path you've sworn
Forlorn accuser
Diffusing lazy leverage you used to use

[Bridge]
That you used to use
That you used to use
That you used to use

Let's slink into the night with our dilated eyes
Equalized on each side
Magnetized
Ice in a mindless parade as we graze through the rain like
Brainless street rats rapidly dampening

When the road is cold, hard and wet
Well it's enough to make you forget if you're really that mad
But glad to fade is what's reluctant delayed
Deranged, round, draining brains

And don't you feel like stopping to sleep
While the street's just freezing asleep beneath your bleeding feet
And it's hard to say if yesterday is today
It's all about tomorrow's hyperactively rampaging exchange

In breaks of waves
So I'm gonna go on against the grain
I'm manipulating strange into a ball of all the same
So I'm afraid of flames
And other strange things
That can happen to them over and over and over again

[Chorus]
I'm the future
Reaper of the universe's
Sore sewn sutures
Healing, given an energy core
Boring future
With you enduring the path you've sworn
Forlorn accuser
Diffusing lazy leverage you used to use

[Bridge]
That you used to use
That you used to use
That you used to use
You used to use
Used to use
Used to use
Used to use

[Verse 2]
We're perched down where the dirty old layer of Earth
Cursed with a worth and a girth of unlimited time
Up, arise, the numb sum aloft
The dumbfounding kingdom
Some clumsy, stumbling stride

They're sublime if you strive high
And below it's dry
You get all fried up and tied up
To the flesh-grinding assembly line

But still what you own drones with all the powerful tones
Of the groaning gnomes lonely homes
Beneath the grown, green shrine

[Pre-Chorus]
And who knows just how far you might go with the weight of you towing it
Carry with you
And who knows just how far you couldn't go with the weight of you towing it and you
Bury with you

Carry with you
Bury with you

[Outro]
Inside the future
Inside of your heart
Inside of the future
You know it'll all fall apart
