Squirrel vs. Snake

Hoping legends stay that way - Ivanoé -
a failed William Tell in a private gamblers hell
Squirrel vs. Snake
It only hurts when I'm awake and all I can take
is the sound of this empty room I have assumed
all of my mistakes

The penalties were swift and just
I said you could trust me and I lied
now I'm sentenced to be petrified and I'm changing solid states

And you know, you know that I'm guided
don't trust no God who sais he needs to be relied on
or a government that says I should be spied on
telling me why I should keep holding on

I'm paralyzed from the waist up
it's never enough
to detach the trackbacks from my latest dispatch
Paper vs. Match

I'm not afraid of the human race, but I'm starting to brace
for mid-air impacts and oh, those collisions, of course
but history can't be forced

And they know, they know, and you're buying
The illusion's too complete for you to leave it
every advertiser needs you to believe it
telling you why you should keep holding on

Blow by blow they sell you sand from an empty hour glass

The road to Heaven now is paved and Jesus has saved
a headliner we all know for the holy halftime show
Turin vs. Shroud

I'm speaking out loud, and outgunned
as I'm quietly underwhelmed
outnumbered slowly one by one
and hoping I'm less dumb

And they know, you know they know
and you'll let them go

Don't need no God who tells me he should be relied on
or a government that says
I should be spied on
telling me why I should keep holding on

I'm a furry, I'm a Brony, I'm a breeder
I wasn't born to ever follow any leaders
Don't need nobody to tell me "Keep holding on"

Don't need you to tell me I should keep holding on
