lyrics

We always took what’s left
We always threw what’s next
Hold to the second-last
Chanting cuts in the massive
Ocean Animal We
Acted so strong and felt so free
I operated and pulled,
I saw the biggest eyes in the world

We wanted the wound
So we could name an invisible
Pull of the body to light
Know the vampire that stalks in the night
We’ll miss the shadow that keeps
All of his hopes in a sorrowful heap

Year of the optical fire
Substance illusive but unified
Pulse of the stars in their dust
Blood tastes the same as industrial rust
To tongues that speak and consume
Unrelenting as bodies in bloom

We always took what’s left
We always threw what’s next
Hold to the second-last
Chanting cuts in the massive
Ocean Animal We
Acted so strong and felt so free
I operated and pulled,
I saw the biggest eyes in the world
