Crawl and climb through bones; a vulture’s feast.
Claw-marked backs, it’s so hard to breathe.
Can I leave before I turn?
Scavenging for hate will make you strong.
Be my affliction.
Act a little bit crazed, and speak in tongues.
A pathetic vision, just a patchwork tapestry of sways and slumps.
Hiding among us.
Can you feel their pain?
It licks up your spine, and into your mind; the lust of preying on the weak.
Vultures; craving the abuse of hatred.
I can feel their eyes burn a hole in the back of my skull.
Fine; I’ve made some mistakes, but I’ll reconcile with my shadows and my place in life inside the hive, even though I know it’s burning me.
Can we peacefully be allowed to leave before the last door slams shut?
Before the pain of blame and the vultures come for the last of us?
Be my affliction.
Act a little bit crazed, and speak in tongues.
A pathetic vision, just a patchwork tapestry of sways and slumps.
Be the weight in me (keep my feet on the ground).
Teach me; make me see (and pull my head from the clouds).
Be the weight in me (keep my feet on the ground).
Teach me; make me see (and pull my head from the clouds).
