Squirrel vs Snake lyrics

Hoping legends stay that way (Ivanoé)

A failed William Tell in a private gambler’s hell

Squirrel vs. snake

It only hurts when I'm awake

And all I can take

Is the sound of this empty room

I have assumed

All of my mistakes

The penalties were swift and just

I said you could trust

Me and I lied

Now I'm sentenced to be petrified

And I'm changing solid states

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

And you know, you know

That I'm guided

Don't trust no God who says he needs to be relied on

Or a government that says I should be spied on

Tellin’ me why I should keep holdin’ on

I'm paralyzed from the waist up

It's never enough

To detach the trackbacks from my latest dispatch

Paper vs. match

I'm not afraid of the human race

But I'm starting to brace

For mid-air impacts and oh,

Those collisions, of course,

But history can't be forced

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

And they know, they know

That you're buying

The illusion's too complete for you to leave it

Every advertiser needs you to believe it

Tellin’ you why you should keep holdin’ on

Blow by blow, they sell you sand from an empty hourglass

The road to heaven now is paved and Jesus has saved

The headliner we all know for the holy halftime show

Turin vs. shroud

And I'm speaking out loud, and outgunned

As I'm quietly underwhelmed

Outnumbered slowly one by one

And hoping I'm less dumb

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

And they know, you know, they know

That you'll let them go

Don't need no God who tells me he should be relied on

Or a government that says

I should be spied on

Tellin’ me why I should keep holdin’ on

I'm a Furry, I'm a Brony, I'm a breeder

I wasn't born to ever follow any leaders

Don't need nobody to tell me "Keep holdin’ on"

Yeah

Don't need you to tell me I should keep holdin’ on

Yeah
