Obsidian Currents Lyrics

You like to think that you can live beyond good and evil

Amputated from humanity

On some lifelong intellectual retreat

Everything is conceptual and

All is rhetorical

You can feel so powerful

When you're forced to face the physical world

You scurry like an insect

Chorus:

There is a virus in your tenets

Don't be naive you know it's true

And if you don't protect yourself

Obsidian currents, obsidian currents

Will devour you

Ah oooh, ah oooh

You have committed yourself

Wholly to the dominion of semantics and ideas

All things cerebral and abstract

With no patience for impractical emotions

Burning everyone who ever tried to get close to you

But you're so lizardlike you don't feel any passion

For anyone except yourself

Chorus
