Of Montreal - Obsidian Currents lyrics

[Verse 1] You like to think that you can live beyond good and evil Amputated from humanity On some lifelong intellectual retreat Everything is conceptual and All is rhetorical You can feel so powerful When you're forced to face the physical world You scurry like an insect [Chorus] There is a virus in your tenets Don't be naive you know it's true And if you don't protect yourself Obsidian currents, obsidian currents Will devour you Ah oooh, ah oooh [Verse 2] You have committed yourself Wholly to the dominion of semantics and ideas All things cerebral and abstract With no patience for impractical emotions Burning everyone who ever tried to get close to you But you're so lizard-like you don't feel any pa**ion For anyone except yourself [Chorus]
