[Verse 1]
Native intelligence, hard to find
Animal eloquence, sometimes
Searching for relevance online
Here comes the eulogy
[Pre-Chorus]
Trust me, children
Trust me, darlin'
[Chorus]
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
[Post-Chorus]
Don't you want to play?
Don't you want to play?
Don't you want to play?
[Verse 2]
Native intelligence, nowhere
Searching for evidence in the air
Talk to the elephants, waste of time
Here comеs the eulogy
[Pre-Chorus]
Trust me, childrеn
Trust me, baby
[Chorus]
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
[Post-Chorus]
Don't you want to play?
Don't you want to play?
Don't you want to play?
[Bridge]
I'd like to rejoice
I dream of a choice
To regain a fraction of a life
Not reaction
I dream, I dream
[Verse 3]
Native intelligence, hard to find
Animal eloquence, sometimes
Here comes the eulogy
[Pre-Chorus]
Trust me, children
Trust me, darlin'
[Chorus]
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
Taking a bath in cyanide, taking a bath
Taking a bath in cyanide
[Bridge]
I'd like to rejoice
I dream of a choice
To regain a fraction of a life
Not reaction
I dream of a choice
I dream
[Outro]
Giving up all my energy
Giving up all my energy
Giving up all my energy
Giving up all my energy

This was a tricky one. I was still obsessed with ways of combining the orchestra strings and the band, and this was the song I was most pleased with in that exploration. I was also reflecting my feelings about the political moment of living in America in 2020.
