Carbon
[Verse 1]
Carbon bitin' through my suit, dioxide fillin'
Lightheaded, legs are weak, the atmosphere's a villain
Oxygen spillin' out, now my life I'm millin'
Happy over what my life's ultimately been about, it's fulfillin'
But I can taste the carbon wrappin' an arm around my lung
Stickin' the barb in despite the protestin' my body sung
But I'm here on this red rock, on it I've already been flung
But I got my feet planted in a D stance with ready tongue
[Chorus]
Here on Mars, the blood boilin' in my heart, yeah
Radiation in my veins only the start, yeah
Here on Mars, the blood boilin' in my heart, yeah
Radiation in my veins only the start, yeah
[Verse 2]
I can't breathe, this planet burns with toxic gas and abundantly from the cracks on surface do it seeth
Wearin' the carbon dioxide now upon my sleeve and angrily I resent bein' here and I cannot wait to leave
Circle back again, searchin' a desolate desert for a hint of Man, and I'm the head, assert our dominant plan
But I gotta remain with greater missions at hand, I gain nothin' to stand from breakin' my ranks now, and I won't demand
[Chorus]
Here on Mars, the blood boilin' in my heart, yeah
Radiation in my veins only the start, yeah
Here on Mars, the blood boilin' in my heart, yeah
Radiation in my veins only the start, yeah
[Chorus 2]
Dioxide is takin' over, room is spinnin'
I've made my bed but they chose the spot and the linen
Now dioxide's takin' over, room is spinnin'
But I'll never let no toxicity get to winnin'
[Verse 3]
I'm demandin' more, and I'm under the spell of a planetary core with a warrior's lore and I can hear it roar
Evermore, like a tyrannosaur I'm sore from the tyranny carnivore that's controllin' us from shore to shore
Now I'm gonna run from the carbon dioxide, and he gonna live cause the fox hide in trees, yeah
And he on up there so he sees the birds and the bees, and vettin' 'em with ease
No interest in succumbin' to sleaze, I'm a captain of seas in all seasons through deafenin' pleas
[Chorus 2]
Dioxide is takin' over, room is spinnin'
I've made my bed but they chose the spot and the linen
Now dioxide's takin' over, room is spinnin'
But I'll never let no toxicity get to winnin'
