Toxins
Mating Ritual Lyrics

Everytime I wake up
As soon as I wake up from my sleep,

I wait for the sun to touch my eyes
I eagerly anticipate the warmth of the sun to hit my face,

Register why I should be awake
I try to grasp why I must get up and be active,

Anyone who's ever cried
Those who've shed tears in the past,

Will know that I'm lyin',
Would recognize that I'm being dishonest,

In when I say that I have never felt so real alive
While expressing that I've never felt more alive than this,

Breathing, leaving
Breathe in, breathe out,

The toxins that I need to fall asleep
Expel the harmful elements needed to fall into slumber,

Here we go again
We're right back where we started,

Everytime I wake up
Every time I wake up,

And see a great sky
And gaze upon a magnificent sky,

I feel the bones move in my cheeks
My facial muscles become animated,

I know that I'm alive
I become conscious that I'm alive,

I wish my shoes were never clean
I yearn to walk and never have clean shoes,

I wish that I could feel unique
I long for a distinct persona,

I wish the ocean weren't so close,
I hope the ocean were a little further away,

So I could miss that salty breeze
So I could relish that salty gust of wind,

Reaching, reach out
Stretch, reach further,

But mother will catch me,
Yet my mother will be there to support me,

If I can't sleep
If I am unable to sleep,

Here we go again
We're right back where we started,

Ah--
Ah-

Here we go again
We're right back where we started,

Ahh-ah--
Ah-

Here we go again
We're right back where we started,

Ah--
Ah-

Here we go again
We're right back where we started,

Ahh-ah--
Ah-
