Animal Skin

They came to me late July under midnight skies. Terrified
Metallic skin and blank dead stares under lidless eyes. Paralyzed
They told me for fact that they were coming back
And not to get to comfortable in
Our Animal Skins
Was it just a dream? A night terror scream?
What are these thoughts in my mind
And scars on my thighs?
And why can’t I get close to the ones I used to love?
They told me they’d take me away
When they were ready for my DNA
And I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in 325 days.
They came to me in late July and promised me I’d never die
As soon as they’d modified. Siliconized . Decarbonized
And they told me for fact they’d be coming back
To free us all from our animal skins

Don’t want a part in your alienation
All your fancy words and your pretty persuasion
Can’t cut me to pieces and tell me I’m human no.
You’re the same people say my daddy’s a gibbon
Tellin me I’m wrong when I got an opinion
Tellin me there’s no god and I don’t need religion
(I decline)
Don’t want a part in de-humanization
I’m gonna live forever and ever in heaven
Save your science fiction for all the heathens, yeah.
Don’t want a part in your alienation
All your fancy words and your pretty persuasion
Put a chip in my brain and tell me I’m human, no.
(I decline)
Bridge:
I know who I am and you can’t make me change
Outro:
I decline your come ons and your condescending looks
I decline your theories and your science books
I decline your offer to control my mind
I decline your efforts to stretch my time

Sides.
Outside. Inside. Terrified. You're scared to die.
Our side. Your side. Drawn lines. Closed minds.
Your side. Doomed to die.
Out of time. Paralyzed.
Day is fading into night.
Choose: eternal dark or eternal light.
chorus.
It's time. Choosing up our sides.
Open your hearts. Open your minds.
Stay outside. Crossed the line.
You're out of site. You're out of mind.
We'll be gone until the end of time
Watching sings for new bloodlines.
