  • I'm in reverse running
    Doesn't mean anything
    Hurling headlong
    Why would you even ask
    I forgot who I am
    Snakes uncoiling

    Pressed up to the glass
    All things you shouldn't ask
    But you see through me

    It doesn't mean anything
    A meaningless plaything
    Reverse running

    Running contrary-ways
    Pulling off the anyways
    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

    If it makes you feel energized
    All hands are sanitized
    And with such joy
    Running contrary-ways
    Pulling off the anyways
    I jump back around

    I'm reversing
    I'm reverse running
    Falling in the horses feet
    All the feelings that you shouldn't see
    Animal are burned
    Animal are burned
    Moving in slow motion
    This shit is gonna mess me up Writer/s: JOEY WARONKER, MAURO C REFOSCO, MICHAEL BALZARY, NIGEL TIMOTHY GODRICH, THOMAS EDWARD YORKE
