Construction & Destruction - What the Non-Human Taught Us Lyrics

Now to know what the Non-Human taught us
Is to know of the depleted and the charged-up
And to amplify a signal from a
Deepened, darkened woods

We didn't think to kill the darlings or the dogged
We thought only of the culture of robotics
And with alarm watched cheats and martyrs
Lurching from the woods
And astounded witnessed cheats and martyrs
Lurching from the woods

We've birthed noises that we
Cannot keep from broadcast
Sonic warnings of our forages and bombast
We've originated colonies of
Altruists and despots
You can blame us for the colonies of
Altruists and despots

All that we thought they'd do
Would be co-operative
Plunder and forage
Plunder and forage
Plunder and forage

All that we thought they'd do
Would be co-operative
Plunder and forage
Plunder and forage
Plunder and forage

Our morphologies will overwhelm abeyance
We will show that you
Can't restrain the lizard brain
Our poison will thicken to a
Deepened, darkened woods
