Dangerous Animal

Through the straw the liquid pulls
 Down, down, down it goes
 Toward the bottom through the icy terrain
 We're almost there, keep sucking
 Commiserate, our shared disgrace
 The ole handshake, reciprocate
 Downplay it or embrace it
 Something we can choose
 One blank stare into infinity
 Everything to lose
 
 The nihilist runs in retreat
 His apathy born in defeat
 Yeah, life is fleeting and hope is bittersweet
 A consequence we can control
 Or a dangerous animal
 Oh oh
 Oh oh
 Trying is the first mistake
 Cut 'em loose, amputate
 Disconnect, breakaway
 Or inhale and aspirate
 Downplay it or embrace it
 Something we can choose
 One blank stare into infinity
 Nothing left to lose
 
 The absence of a love affair
 The disconnected without care
 Yeah, life is fleeting and isn't always fair
 Consequence out of control
 Makes a dangerous animal
