lyrics

“Brittanica”

Head like the Brittanica
Full of facts, et cetera
Paper thin adds up to thick
But what is at the heart of it?

Heart like the Antarctica
The parts where no one goes
A careful, calm, constructed face
Your calculus is cold

You’ve got the weapon in you
You lay me out
Instant incinerator

Oh, my blood’s so blue
I’m gonna take it, take it, take it
Take it from you

In my thoughts ad nauseum
Until my heart’s the same
I try to keep the cool intact
But you disintegrate

You’ve got the weapon in you
You lay me out
Efficient decimator

Oh, my blood’s so blue
I’m gonna take it, take it, take it
Take it from you
(Repeat)

Who died?
Who died?
Who died and made you unattainable?
Inside
Inside there is nothing
But a long, long list
Of the things you think you know
