Ouroboros lyrics - Cursive

I am a parasite

I am a shill

I am that lowly snake

Chasing its tail

In the beginning, we were starving under stars

The stars told the farmers when to farm

Farms evolved into corporations

Corporations left us all to starve

And in the end, we'll start again

Apocalypse will level every monopoly and monolith

Ouroboros

Ouroboros

We were blessed with an enlightened intellect

Enlightened intellect made the internet

The internet gave the world a mouthpiece

That swallowed our enlightened intellect

The voice of man has been exposed

As vitriol — don't gotta read between the HTML

Ouroboros

Ouroboros

Ouroboros

Ouroboros

The writer will obsess over success

Success is like the carrot on a stick

Once the writer finds it's just a carrot

The writer takes a shit all over it

'Cause in the end the masterpiece

Won't be achieved

Who the fuck is achieving mastery?

Ouroboros

Ouroboros

Society has got a heinous case of crabs

Everybody's got an itch to scratch

This manmade bucket we're all stuck in

We're all fucking over each other's cousin

So, serve it up — surf n' turf

It could be worse

You could be eating your words or your own foot

Ouroboros

Ouroboros

Ouroboros

Ouroboros

I am a parasite

I am a shill

I am a cannibal

Eating my words

I am a parasite

I am a shill

I am that lowly snake

Chasing its tail

I am a parasite

I am a shill

I am that lowly snake

Chasing its tail

Ouroboros
