Recorded at Bird & Egg Studio in Richmond, CA

lyrics

Quick to put me down with, double meaning
Chartreuse, split tongue, sharp tooth, reptilian
Argue, half smile, hard to tell when the truth
Comes slithering out
Of dry mouth salt wounds, double meaning
Secrets living in sand dunes, reptilian
Water makes it hard to move
Quick sand and shortness of breath

Tempted lava taproot, double meaning
I’m trying not to hang onto, reptilian
Sap that hardens into an amber wound
You wear around your neck
But I won’t ask you, double meaning
To make promises your not spose’ to, reptilian
Limbs you drop when forced to choose
Between what’s right and what’s left

We got ourselves into this
And now we need help out
Don’t try and wrestle with it
You’ll just run it in the ground…

I will keep this secret, double meaning
Buried in a shallow grave, reptilian
Go ahead and start your digging
You won’t find the slightest trace
It’s ok just to be honest, double meaning
Everything’s gonna be ok, reptilian
As long as you keep your mouth shut
This won’t see the light of day
