Amphibian Days Lyrics

In the pen with the mastiffs bred to fight rats
In the bowels of the arena
I received a kiss without promise that produced
Deformities of happiness
The laughter there is viscous it leaves a residue
Down the legs of the chairs
Since you lost the will to hear they get your attention
Grabbing fistfuls of your hair
These amphibian days, they will not heel to you
You can't defy the defining flaw of your generation
Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohh
The heavens vomited the dawn upon us as we learned
How to occupy photographs
She descended a stairway composed of silk
And flicked her cigarette
As I sweat through my black hex I saw you two climax in spasms
Through a frosted window
You both came in electronics and anthemic bursts
Of unsanitary flames
These amphibian days, they will not heel to you
You can't defy the defining flaw of your generation
Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohh
If this is Tartarus, which of us is Echidna?
Which one Arakiel?
This bastard conveyance of extinct emotions
That we know only in our cells
I labour to tempt you out of your cage
And into my patrol
Until this vessel lands I have decided to
Ignore all impulse control
These amphibian days, they will not heel to you
You can't defy the defining flaw of your generation
Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohh
