Baby Annihilation Lyrics
An alligator prince with crocodile tears, too many to count
Permanent head-cold dreams awash in your love, fallin' in and out
Time is luck, and I wish ours overlapped more or for longer
Orange leaves but we're the ones falling off trees
The first time I took the mask off, just had another one on underneath
I'm just melted wax on a birthday cake, another year fades away
Charcoal crushed, pixie fever, angel dust
Stuck in a wasteland we covered in glitter and broadcast just for a little serotonin
Self-sabotage at best, under your spell
But you know what they say
"If you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself"
This palace was crystal, but the world was a cruel joke
What is there between us, if not a little annihilation?

You have to be careful about how you use throwback qualities. I think that there’s things that people want their favorite bands and artists to do that don’t always make sense, and the record needs to have a flow to it. I think it did make sense to have a spoken word part, I was really excited to do it for this record. I think people were like, “the title’s so crazy!”. I’ll give a little insight into the title: for a long time we were just titling it “A Little Annihilation”, so it just got changed to “Baby Annihilation”. That’s where the title came from.
