Oxygen Songtext
von My Pet Teratoma

For everything we have we′re still alone
Surrounded by the ghosts of all we've ever known
We can′t seem to see past
Photographs of ambivalence

For everything we think won't change a thing
Pushed out on tides and drawn back in again
Consciences peak and decline
Our gravities set to collide

And we don't need to breath at all
When we suffocate on hate and vitriol
As oxygen depletes within our lungs
We nebulise our self-consumption


We inhale our conceit
Hold it close until we′re forced to admit defeat

For everything we do won′t mean a thing
Disappointments onto which we cling
The more we wriggle ourselves loose
Ever tighter grips the noose

And we don't need to breath at all
When we suffocate on hate and vitriol
As oxygen explodes within our lungs
We can′t change fate with acts of contrition

How can we ever justify
Knowing that we know our insignificance of life
The oxygen on which we rely
Can't supplant the truth that we′re living in denial
