Obsidian Currents

OF MONTREAL LYRICS
"Obsidian Currents" 

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 

There is a [bad word] in your tenets 
Don't be naive, you know it's [bad word] 
And if you don't protect yourself 
Obsidian currents 
Will devour you 

You [bad word] yourself 
Wholly to the dominion of semantics and ideas 
All things cerebral and abstract 
No patience for impractical emotions 

Burning everyone who 
Ever try to get close to you 
But you're so lizard-like you don't 
Feel any passion for anyone but yourself 

There is a [bad word] in your tenets 
Don't be naive, you know it's [bad word] 
And if you don't protect yourself 
Obsidian currents 
Will devour you
