Ted Leo and The Pharmacists - The Toro and the Toreador lyrics

Howling in remembrance, an animal has died I'm hollowed out but resonant, a void is amplified And abandoned, shy My animus was lost, I found when I looked back in time I can see the where and how, but I don't know the why Or if it's right to try The best advice I ever had was leave what was behind But did I see some value there, or am I going blind? Is it all in my mind? Like when you want it easy and you've got an uphill climb Why would give power to the ones who robbed you blind Yet another time? You've got a choice, it's the toro or the toreador Your brides are not all as weak as what you take them for This mean arena is all the things it seems and more Well, that final day will come, it comes to everyone The accidents of birth can make it hard to speak one's mind But I believe there's power here, just not that I can find And I'm not aimed on dying You're in a dance and you must maintain until it's done You've got a chance to retake a bit of innocence You didn't choose to commit, but you're committed So put some pa**ion in the play, because we all go anyway Trying to find a fact to frame a fully righteous fire Everyone wants body counts and I just want to cry Is it alright?
