[Verse 1]
Is it any wonder, oh darling?
Ribboning [?]
Dueling its division and bond
How to be your own person
How to be both planet and body
Shivering in skin and bones
Over mind to murder or make
[Pre-Chorus]
Only makes it harder to
Harder to, harder to, harder to hold
[Chorus]
A duel
Combination
We're so civilized
Bodies for breaking and mind to design
One's demise
[Verse 2]
Is it any wonder, oh darling?
We are bound by sticky stuff
There's a pulse in darkness and matter
This is how the planets touch
Is this you in your faded form
Trying to forget it's in
Every muscle, every limb?
[Pre-Chorus]
Wеll, before you've thought about
Thought about, thought about, thought about it
[Chorus]
I feel you
Combination
Wе're so civilized
Outnumbered by the insects
They land in my coffee and die
And I, I live in you
Oh, I recognize
You are so brave and wise
Body for breaking and mind to design
One's demise
