Civil Lies Lyrics by Dave Hause

Kick

2019

[Verse 1]
Civilized my disguise
Twisted mask you wear to hide from
Sideways eyes and your crooked frown
Your crooked frown
Cynics grind, clouds my mind
A tiny thorn in my side and it's digging in
A little slip in the spine and it's bringing me down
Bringing me down
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a tick, tick, ticking time bomb
Of being sick, sick, sick in your mind
Not a kid anymore
[Chorus]
How could I be so bloodthirsty?
How could I be so bloodthirsty and kind at the same time?
At the same time?
[Verse 2]
Great divide, I got a ticket to ride
A little dose of escape pod capsules keep the tongue untied
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a tick, tick, ticking time bomb
Of being sick, sick, sick in your mind
Not a kid anymore
[Chorus]
How could I be so bloodthirsty?
How could I be so bloodthirsty and kind at the same time?
At the same time?
How could there be this war in me?
How could there be this warfare in my mind?
Bloodthirsty and kind at the same time
[Bridge]
Civilized my disguise
A little dose of escape pod capsules keep the tongue untied
[Chorus]
How could I be so bloodthirsty?
How could I be so bloodthirsty and kind at the same time?
At the same time?
How could there be this war in me?
How could there be this warfare in my mind?
Bloodthirsty and kind at the same time
At the same time, at the same time
