[Verse 1]
In my most faded state
And in my jaded hate
I will say what I'll say
And in my modest way
I will say what I'll say
And through a sea of waste
I will wade unimpinged
It was foreseen by the stars
It was foreseen from within
And I am everywhere at once
When I was nowhere to begin
And I am wading through to you
So discard the romance and throw out the voodoo
Everybody is dancing
But no one dances like we do
[Verse 2]
I'm in a cloud of crazy
I'm in a craze of lazy
I'm in a swim out to the middle
Just to see if you'll save me
My friends, they take it to the streets
They are not warm to receiving
There is no tact, nor taste
When your stocks are depleting
Markets reacting
New angles protracting
Agencies exacting
Statistics impacting
Going out of my brain just to keep right from insane
'Cos it's catch and kill and release
And anybody and everybody's my sworn enemies
[Bridge 1]
Is my brain just a clock to remind me
To sleep and to wake and to piss and to fuck and to
(Hurt is all around me)
(Hurt is all around me)
Kisses won't wake me
No silence will break me but
(Hurt is all around me)
(Hurt is all around me)
Measure the impulse and relay the response
And open and reflective will gain another perspective on it all
(Hurt is all around me)
(Hurt is all around me)
(Hurt is all around me)
(Hurt is all around me)
Then give in, give in
Give in, give in, give in, give in
Give in, give in, give in, give in (oh)
Until the day shatters you (oh)
Penalise the imposters
Fertilize not foster
Rebrand, rebuild, renew

The duo wrote that this track gives a preview to the album’s sound, with a theme of surrendering to chaos:
This song is in many ways at the emotional and spiritual heart of Animal [its album] . Lyrically it can be seen as a descent into madness; life attacking from all angles; hysteria and confusio...
