[Verse 1]

I’m reverse running

It doesn’t mean anything

Hurling headlong

Why would you even ask?

I’ve forgotten who I am

Snakes uncoiling

Pressed up to the glass

All the things that you shouldn’t ask

But you see through me


[Chorus 1]

It doesn’t mean anything

A meaningless plaything

Reverse running

Running contrary-ways

Pulling off the anyways


[Verse 2]

I’m messing up

Messing up the balance

Breaking my trajectory

All the toys in the factory

While you all lie down

While you all lie down

I’m skipping back through the tapes

Skipping through the ad breaks

God in heaven!


[Chorus 2]

It makes me feel energized!

All else is sanitized

And with such joy

Running contrary-ways

Pulling off the anyways

I jump back around


[Bridge]

You don’t talk about me, you don’t talk about me

You don’t talk about me, you don’t talk about me

You don’t talk about me, you don’t talk about me

You don’t talk about me, you don’t talk about me

You don’t talk about me, you don’t talk about me


[Verse 3]

I’m reversing

I’m reverse running

I fall under the horses feet

All the things that I shouldn’t see

Animal or Bird

Animal or Bird

Moving in slow motion

This shit is gonna mess me up


[Instrumental]
