Lyrics:

Like a cat - claws out, sashaying around
A dilemma to man means nothing from lower ground
And I can’t stop thinking about running around
What’s to ponder?
What’s to wonder?
What’s the use of these human measures?

Animal claws come slashing down
Becoming a hound underneath a vaulted ceiling
Move on

Another day, another hellish snag
Barely breaking through the oughts
A chamber slowly filling up with death
We’re better off as animals for sure

Like a bat - wings out, just soaring around
With our eyes locked on an impossible prize like a cure 
I can’t smile anymore
Like a dog, like an oblivious little dog
I’ll make you beg, I’ll make your bed
I’ll make you beg, I’ll make you
If we could only regress
Find some peace in denseness
I will survive by living a lie
Will we burn up in the collective shift?
Counting in our dreams
We mustn’t fall asleep
An animal, a superhuman soul

Degeneration M (feat. Part Human)

Will things be any different
or will everything just stay the same
Before you were gone
you were sort of already gone
Before you were gone, we knew you wanted to be
The moon stayed blue, it’s true 
You wanted us to see
The TV static still scatters ubiquitously
Missing pieces now, it’s still a legacy

There’s a color inside your eyes
A ticket to our souls
An empty bottle’s no prize
It used to fill the hole
A hero to youth remains adored for eternity 
The light you shined so bright, it’s blinding
Even in the dark

’96 was the year that part of you disappeared
Never to return 
It’s abysmal to think of what could have been
An opposite reality, an alternative end
And now the credits are rolling
and we won’t let them stop
This is a spiritual mission
This is a critical verse
This is the necessary eulogy redeeming all deficiencies
You can black out the moon, but in our hearts it’s blue

The moon is down, but it’s up in our hearts

R.I.P. Darren Mallory Fjerstad <3
