Toe to Toes - Mastodon

I have seen this once before

I have felt these colors

I have known you for so long

When we ran in circles

For our sake

I will wait for you

I walk alone, into the darkness

I came toe to toe and face to face with the beast

He knew me by my name, it was surprising

And he knew everything about me that I despised

I have seen this once before

I have felt these colors

I have known you for so long

When we ran in circles

He had gold and he had silver

He had all the women and wine that you’d ever need

Just one thing, a prick of your finger

Spell your name in the sand and do it with your own blood

Bitten by the fangs of circumstance

Outward light a reflection

We are all equal

Underneath the slab of material

Mutable ways of my fortune

Bitten by my fangs

Gave me a smile, gave me a whisper

Lay me down in linens to watch me sleep

I played the fool

I played the sinner

I played the part of me that no one wanted to see
