That's How Many Years It Took

from Evergreen Civil War by Animal Pharma

/

lyrics

That’s how many years it took, I’m sure
To be rid of all the burden of before
Now there’s room enough
In my fluoride-tinted trough
Of welfare, pauper brains to fill with more

I couldn’t conceive a day I’d wake
Without her memories of serotonin pain
Hacking into my biology
Like tedious apostrophes
To glossy up my death sentence to date

When I went to bed last night
I’s sure that I’d reclaim come daylight
Now its afternoon, how can I
Lose so much inspired foresight?

But I won’t change
‘Cause I don’t change
The scenery of planet of Earth in time and space
Misaligned to what I feel’s my pace
And I won’t change
‘Cause I don’t change

That’s how many years it took, I’m sure
Something more than linear and boring
Something less than sinister and Earthling
To keep me coming back to life for more

I don’t know the difference of today
From nine-eleven onto Easter Sunday
Though dialogue is rare
When I’m deep inside my prayer
I would know if the apocalypse was here

When I went to bed last night
I’s sure that I’d reclaim come daylight
Now its afternoon how can I
Lose so much inspired foresight

But I won’t change
‘Cause I don’t change
The scenery of planet of Earth in time and space
Misaligned to what I feel’s my pace
And I won’t change
‘Cause I don’t change

That’s how many years it took to be
Accustomed to a rank society
Who’s coveting in fame
And addicted to it’s name
Hygienic, sharp and better dressed than me

You’ve been meditating for the nerve
I know this from a tree where I observe
And if you ever find it
Swear to God you ought to hide it
‘Cause it’s something I believe I should have first

As I lay me down tonight
I’m sure tomorrow has a sister
Maybe she’s adopted
And I’ll insist that we be friends

But I won’t change
‘Cause I don’t change
The meme of all existence seems to giggle in my face
And wriggle to its place with me
But I won’t change
‘Cause I don’t change

One year on from any place of ‘now’
That’s how many years it takes from now
