From the recording Music Heuristic
Lyrics
Juggernaut
Tempted to take a side right now
Though it makes little sense at all
Impulsive, reactive thoughts
Wreck my mind like a juggernaut
And the scene that unfolds
Is both awkward and painful
Until hateful resentment sets in
Then a knock-on effect of compounding disaster
Spiraling faster and nobody wins
Animal
Irrational
Reign in emotion
Keep breathing
Be sensible
We’re complex entities ruled simplistically
Abstract quantities run subconsciously
Sense-making wannabes steeped in irony
It’s time to face your strange biology
So let’s unpack our souvenirs
Few friends who can take my fierce
Overbearing personality
My quirks are liabilities
But I want to be part of something besides me
And I’m not sure that I ever will
My mind cannot guide my behavior completely
It perplexes and it vexes me still
Animal
Irrational
Reign in emotion
Keep breathing
Be sensible
We’re complex entities ruled simplistically
Abstract quantities run subconsciously
Sense-making wannabes steeped in irony
It’s time to face your strange biology
We cautiously claim, “we are normal”
And suppress our “abnormal” tendencies
Am I living a life in the tails?
Because somebody has to be
Let’s take some time to be realistic
What did you say? I think I missed it.
Am I just being narcissistic or have I not yet evolved?
I’d like to think that I’m humanistic
But am I really all that altruistic?
Am I just an anomalistic statistic or is this normal for...
Animals
Dominoes
One falling into the other
Down we go
Animal
Irrational
Reign in emotion
Keep breathing
Be sensible
We’re complex entities ruled simplistically
Abstract quantities run subconsciously
Sense-making wannabes steeped in irony
It’s time to face you’re strange biology
