Obsidian Currents

Of Montreal

Created by: dcolspector In the verses, (x065540). You like to think that you can, Live beyond good and evil. Amputated from humanity, On some lifelong intellectual retreat. Everything is conceptual and all is rhetorical, You can feel so powerful. When you're forced to face the physical world, You scurry like an insect. There is a virus in your tenets, Don't be naive, you know it's true. And if you don't protect yourself, Obsidian currents, obsidian currents, Will devour you. Ah, ah, ah, ooh, ooh. You have committed yourself, Wholly to the dominion of semantics and ideas. All things cerebral and abstract, With no patience for impractical emotions. Burning everyone who ever tried, To get close to you But you're so lizard-like, You don't feel any passion, For anything but yourself. There is a virus in your tenets, Don't be naive, you know it's true. And if you don't protect yourself, Obsidian currents, obsidian currents, Will devour you. Ah, ooh, ooh.
