Cocoa Canine by Temple Grove Lyrics

We take sides, leaning out and making waves in our decline
Seems there’s something going wrong in our design
And we say that we don’t mean it, act like nobody has seen it
Is this alright?

Try and keep intentions crystal
Can’t hold the goddamn floor
Dead weight gives way to anger
These really friends of yours?
Wade through the disrespectful ways that’ve come to be expected
It’s taking toll to play a figure that’s become so hated


We build it up, to tear it down, so what now?

With open eyes
It’s the take that finally breaks us down the line
[‘Cause] it’s so far gone
And I wanted you to know that all of this feels right
We’ll leave it all behind, we’ll leave it all…
The problem with good living, it always takes too long
The problem with creating, it’s all been done before


Take back the years, take back the years
[There’s nothing left to salvage]
Take back the years, take back the years
[Cut the cord]
Take back the years, take back the years
[There’s nothing left to salvage]
Take back the years, take back the years
[Cut the goddamn cord]

With open eyes
It’s the take that finally breaks us down the line
[‘Cause] it’s so far gone
And I wanted you to know that all of this feels right
We’ll leave it all behind, we’ll leave it all…

Take back the years, take back the years
As if you started a war, as if you’ve put up a wall
Didn’t want it to hurt, it’s just a constant state of flux
I won’t stand for this, leave it all behind…

The problem with good living, it always takes too long
The problem with creating, it’s all been done before
The problem with good living, it always takes too long
The problem with creating, it’s all been done
