Dangerous Animal

Through the straw the liquid pulls
Down, down, down it goes
Toward the bottom through the icy terrain
We’re almost there, keep sucking
Commiserate, our shared disgrace
The ole handshake, reciprocate

Downplay it or embrace it
Something you can choose
One blank stare into infinity
Everything to lose

The nihilist runs in retreat
His apathy born in defeat
Yeah, life is fleeting and hope is bittersweet
A consequence we can control
Or a dangerous animal

Oh oh
Oh oh

Trying is the first mistake
Cut 'em loose, amputate
Disconnect, breakaway
Or inhale and aspirate

Downplay it or embrace it
Something you can choose
One blank stare into infinity
Nothing left to lose

The absence of a love affair
The disconnected without care
Yeah, life is fleeting and isn't always fair
Consequence out of control
Makes a dangerous animal
