THE LYRICS:
Distractions…
Push and pull…there’s always a push and a pull
THE LYRICS:
Dan
innocent hears kids outside
He wonders if he'll raise one of his own
As body after body gets bare and redone
He shares his bed often
He always sleeps as one
Animal behavior.
Andrew
beauty loves Christmas lights
There's no one to share the glow with him
As work rots his skin away day by day
When boss goes home
Would he let his children hurt the same way?
Animal behavior.
There's
no pride when you have bills to pay…
You and your father turning out the same way…
Left feels cheap and right strips the clothes
away
Robert
cynical drinks his beer
Watch him glow, deteriorate, and
Disappear
His hours drained in a computer screen
Just existing and surviving
Lifestyles of the incomplete…
Animal behavior.
Distractions…
Push and pull…there’s always a push and a pull
