lyrics

I buried my feet
in the softened earth
in the homes we built
but I never sleep
I was waiting for the next big wave to swallow my body, tired and whole

and I brace my limbs
against these walls
and I choke back salt
and swallow these words whole
“I could never give you, what you needed”
“I could never be, what you saw in me”

and I was waiting
to see you next me
my chest pushed
against the sand
my body limp
grasping for land
but instead you floated
but instead you sailed
and left me here
and left me here

To say that I was amiss
to say that I was led astray

So I buried my feet
in that softened earth
and I went back to
those homes we built
and I’ve tried to sleep
But I never will
until I say those words
till I say these words to you

——————————————

we have struck flesh,
for we’ve been struck down
and we have hunted
for we’ve been hunted too
and we have killed
to punish killers
and we will eat until
one of us is consumed
we have struck flesh,
for we’ve been struck down
and we have hunted
for we’ve been hunted too
and we have killed
to punish killers
and we will eat until
one of us is consumed

I stood here
defiant and wrong
I stood tall
with a broken back
I stood here
defiant and wrong
I stood tall
with a broken back

we have killed
to punish killers
we’ve cut the knees
to mend the feet
we spread the plague
to cure the pain
we have killed
to punish killers
we’ve cut the knees
to mend the feet
we spread the plague
to cure the pain
and we will eat until
one of us is consumed
I stood tall
with a broken back
