Cat Guy

If baby Hitler and your family dog
Were both found drowning in a lake
And you could only rescue one
'Cause, well, that's never really been explained

Which pitiful creature would you condemn?
Which of god's children would you save?
And only when you've staggered back to shore
Will you be apprised of your unforgivable mistake?

There's someone in a future wishing upon a future star
That they could travel back in time to precisely where you arе
Sitting here bored complеtely senseless wishing you were somewhere else
Some phony brighter future or nostalgic story that we tell

I'm searching for the patterns in the noise
I'm pareidolic, I'm seeing faces in the void
And in the void behind this face
The fragments falling into place
The lifeless children lined up on a sheet interrupts the reverie

Suddenly, it all seems very clear
Like I'm in a frontier town tableau
"Abandon hope all 'ye who enter here"
Time to come to terms with mankind's default mode

All grand pronouncements rendered patently absurd
By just the gentle prodding of a bemused universe

So tell me, which pitiful creature would you condemn?
Which of god's children would you save?
As for me, I never learned to swim
Always been a "cat guy" anyways
