Extinction - Parquet Courts

Making the distinction between life and lore

Odds favor the former when you wear a mask

Masochism forming in the reflection

And I’m trying not to turn into a psychopath

Better to have lost it then to find it tossed out

That’s what I’m telling myself

Wasn’t I better than nothing?

Making a decision about steamed or fried

Wanted to be needed, so I fed my cat

Think I’ll keep to myself for the next few days

Feel a buzz that can’t be bottled, smoked or canned

Sabotaging life just to find something to write about

Why was it always this way?

And did I do it on purpose?

Waking from a vision that the schizoid built

Listening to puddles swallow melted snow

Spring has sprung and finally it’s not cold outside

And I’m thinking about the places that I want to go

Passion dissipates when it’s fastened to

The faces we wear only to become them

Lying to ourselves everyday becomes incredibly easy

Yeah, it’s incredibly easy

Yeah, it’s incredibly easy
