Lyrics
[This song is made of 80% recyclable materials
and one freshly killed rabbit]
I'm two dimensional
A grainy portrait of a cornered animal
Claws worn down from scraping around
Trying to find the snare that took me down
That taught the fear to me
But the chain seems to lead offscreen
Out of frame, out of focus
Out into the obscene
Out beyond the fabric of this established reality
I break out, redefine
So go back to your burrows
In fear of tomorrow
A new day has come
So run, rabbit, run
Run, rabbit, run
It's only take
They follow the wake
Every single step is another mistake
Steeped in nostalgia
Heads bent down to dig in the mud
I cannot exist as shadow beneath the obelisk
Prey animals bowing to dead gods
Where once stood creators
Now graze simulacra
The whole thing is dragging me down
Once more for the ones at the back
Taking everything I say as if they're only gonna spit it back
Every single simile in mimicry is agony
I mark you in stark words now as my enemy
How does it feel to exist as a hollow place?
Everything about you is commonplace
I know you sit in the dark
Writing lesser versions of higher work
But like flesh to the embers
The skin here remembers
The warming embrace of the sun
So run, rabbit, run
Run, rabbit, run
Run, rabbit, run
Run, rabbit, run
