outside of your bubble
the race runs at light speed
but you rejected this species
for the color they bleed

i tried to recruit you
thought you had the moxie
been in deep space too long
outcast by proxy

i asked you to touch down
Become one with fear
but your angle was flawed
came apart in the stratosphere

just wanted to be loved
you said it yourself
forever velveteen
alone on the shelf

you gotta get out soon
i have a real bad feeling
gonna swallow you whole
nothing left but
skin and bones

your acting a little erratic
face twitching moods swinging
gonna swallow you whole
regurgitate your
skin and bones

your young enough to turn it around
out of the groove jump the track
but if you're swallowed whole
there's no coming back

rally the bulls
with crimson capes
blood will spill
there's no escape

you told me of the matador
who gave you his word
that was his curse
felled by your sword

rally the bulls
you have been warned
there's no montado
the taurus scorned

it was a season of lies was what you told me
forgot to mention deceit
i burned through 26 g's with nothing to show
but a shoe box filled with receipts

when the rains came you headed south
so the sun could caress your skin
i was left tracing the contours of your body
fingertips possessed by sin

when i saw you last night you were still wearing
the necklace i gave you when we first met
as i turned to leave i snuck in for a kiss
i guess i'll take what i can get

you'll never pull out my roots
their depth is deceiving
10% of me
is all your seeing

i stay low to the earth
down in the dirt
digging for strength
deep in the hurt

i'll never bottom out
staring at the floor
it's my perfect illusion
there's a trap door
