Synthesis

[Verse 1]
I love this town, let's burn it down
The traffic buzz, the engine sounds
Somehow the noises calm me down
All though I’m never homeway bound

The smell of the polluted air
Somehow makes me think of how complex your eyes can be to read
You’re out to lunch all the time
I’m out of touch all the time
The synthesis of you and me
Would not have been same without the pain
Our sad and joyful alchemy
Is nothing but these very streets we stroll everyday

[Chorus]
You’re the carnivore, I am the prey
I sleep between the teeth in a lion cave
The way you always curse, I tend to pray
You call me nasty names I’ll take them to my grave
This is the synthesis, our alchemy
For all I know this is the only way
For reasons I don’t know I wanna stay

[Verse 2]
The sunset sure is beautiful
But also pretty trivial
I know you’re just being civil about it
But all I hear is gibberish tidbits
​
[Chorus]
She is a lioness, I am the lamb
How these revolving doors revolve and force my hand
As I spend my nights between her teeth that scrape the sky
The sound of traffic enveloped and amplified
This is the synthesis, our alchemy
For all I know this is the only way
For reason I don’t know I wanna stay
