CARNIVOROUS

Bleed until there's nothing but dust
And decay and a memory
Like a half forgotten nightmare
Left to fade into obscurity

Holding onto you by the skin of my teeth
Marching to the beat of the anthem of defeat
Lost all pretense of self control
Dive a little deeper until I self implode
Cant get any sleep for the knives in my back
Constant vigilance keeps me ready for attack
Deliver me from deliverance
Salvation is wasted on one so carnivorous

Spit the bones
Onto the carcass
Waste not, want not
Split the skull
And dig out the brains
Before it rots

And

Bleed until there's nothing but dust
And decay and a memory
Like a half forgotten nightmare
Left to fade into obscurity

A relieving sigh tasting of gasoline
You thought it was over but it is like a stain
The air's thick with chaos and doom
There are whispers in silence underneath the moon
A startled gasp of either pleasure or pain
Find the body impaled on a needle stripped vein
'cause the water is treacherous
When a predator lurks vile and carnivorous

Spit the bones
Onto the carcass
Waste not, want not
Split the skull
And dig out the brains
Before it rots

And

Bleed until there's nothing but dust
And decay and a memory
Like a half forgotten nightmare
Left to fade into obscurity

I have a large package
Because I carry a big stick
Is it a double entendre?
Fuck! I'm bad at math
Pneumatic war machine
Seems I'm blowing hot air again
Buried beneath the dichondra
At least I have wrath

BUT WHO REALLY GIVES A FUCK?
IT'S ALL SEMANTICS
GODDAMN IT
DON'T PANIC

so

Spit the bones
Onto the carcass
Waste not, want not
Split the skull
And dig out the brains
Before it rots

And

Bleed until there's nothing but dust
And decay and a memory
Like a half forgotten nightmare
Left to fade into obscurity
