Body splayed in the jungle
As an artery spurts
Who'd have thought
That his insides
Would fall to this
Bloody mess in the jungle
Respect his pain and slurs I guess
Who'd have thought
That a lifetime would
Fall for this
To see hell
To see the wolf
To keep a straight face
As a blade rips through his skin
To feel hell
To see the worst
My body's flipping inside out
"glue it to keep it down"
Body splayed in the jungle
As an artery spurts
Who'd have thought
That his insides
Would fall for this
Bloody mess in the jungle
Respect his pain and slurs I guess
Who'd have thought
That a lifetime would
Fall for this

Tethered to the grass
Tethered to the dirt
A breaking sense that to live is to never live
To feel held
To feel home
The one home that that you knew was a mausoleum
This new one is a bright nightmare
Enter now into this bright green world I don't get it
Their empathy is wrapped in a blanket
Of fire
And it never made sense
How they seemed so content
but hey
at least they did it
What's in his head
What kind of words
A fake sense of "always around"
To temper trauma of a dead friend
What's in her head
What kind of words
The terror of it all
To never feel anything again
To feign a role of provider
Potentiating the pain
Dormant in the ground
How could it ever grow from this
Enter now into this bright green world I don't get it
Their empathy is wrapped in a blanket
Of fire
And it never made sense
How they seemed so content but hey
at least they did it
But at least they did it
Spring lights exploding to brave time
Mourn with the loss of what once was
Accept the face of what has to be

Beneath
The skin
What good's a brain if all it does is turn your hunger to sin?
We'll never make it out alive if our humanity dies
OUTBREAK of savageness
Severed limbs and emptied guts summon last breath
BEHAVIOR ravenous
Their lust for flesh transcends life and death
TO BREAK the skin to feed
Dark caverns hide flesh in a crypt of ice
PENETRATE the skull to see
Rend flesh
Crack Bones
Spread seed
Decapitation tears the final chorus from your throat
A dying moment stretched into eternity's horde
Bone shards block the esophagus
Cauterize the wound, haunted eyes subdued
(dying with the lights on)
Decapitation tears the final chorus from your throat
A dying moment stretched into eternity's horde
(dying with the lights on)
Shards of bone on which you will choke
Cauterize that wound, cauterize that wound

Newly a goddess of flies
They dance in front of her eyes
A rhythmic beating inside of her
Echoes awake a drooling beast
Unrivaled goddess of flies
They danced in front of your eyes
Antennae lead the way
Transfixed on the light they follow helpless
Emerge from pupal case they follow helpless
Transfixed on the light they follow helpless
Metamorphosing things they follow helpless
They scream out at her to stop this
Opened up her best genes
For the worst things
Larvae writhing
She grew a swarm to ignite
The rage we'd never speak of
Reigning God of the lights
He saw the brightest eyes
You know you'll die as you lived
In a flash of the blade again
Oh holy father of lies
You promised blooming new life
Antennae summoned death
Transfixed on the flesh they follow helpless
Emerge from pupal case they follow helpless
Transfixed on the flesh they follow helpless
Metamorphosing things they follow helpless
They scream out at her to stop this
Opened up her best genes
For the worst things
Larvae writhing
She grew a swarm to ignite
The rage we'd never speak of
