lyrics

It’s always the same line
And when we’re strung into it
Come one, come all into it, we try to claw it back

I don’t know where I got the idea, I had responsibility
It’s not my current life, it’s theirs after all, I’m a sad sack

You're healthy, You're beautiful!
Does that mean fat?
I don’t know why I feel I have the right to understandability
It’s the same line, mind-blowey repetition in ad-infinition
Better claw it back!

You feel that Your body is laid on the slab
And Your soul is on the rack
What can we ask of dissecting of clinically recovered objectivities
We’ll help find You, You my darling
When You try to come back

If we’re all out in the wilderness, boots and cash strapped
That’s some place, some place to start
With somebody else’s spark of subjectivity

But it’s like the same like we all do: Love!
It’s like she keeps saying: claw it back, claw it back, claw it back, claw it back!

Claw it back
Claw it back
Claw it back
Claw it back!

I just want to hear You moving in there in the other room
Trying, trying to claw it back
Someday we will all disentangle with the flesh that clings to our

Personalit-abilities
Personalit-abilities
Personalit-abilities
Personalit-abilities

My darling, I-will-me-You meet me, again
Behind the, the story
In the little shack out back

Some things disappear forever, like liquid running into cracks
Trying hard to catch it all is Your life’s special capital ‘R’ Responsibility

You're thinking
I won’t
Despite You
Claw it back

You're wrong my darling, because I’ve met You be…
You're wrong my darling, because I’ve met You be…
You're wrong my darling, because I’ve met You be…
You're wrong my darling, because I’ve met You before!

And I know, You ain’t ever going back
