A Lot Like Birds
Recluse
Within the shadows of the ever-barren
We decompose like decrepit particles
Windows of your inner being
Neglecting what is loved
It's the absence of substance
Struggling to exist
In this hallowed yet hollow shell
Hey you, your guard's up but the whole room can see straight through
Your exoskeleton is plastic
Melting 'round the edges and dripping down your spine
You've got very little time
And most of it is mine anyways
Oh no! Don't hesitate, they can sense it
Within the shadows of the ever-barren
We decompose like decrepit particles
Can you feel me crawling through your inner being?
You're a hollow shell that once existed
Did you come into the sending?
So send me away. We all just end up as dust
Glorified ash. Rust. Welcome, my guest, to the attic!
Just shut the trap behind you, don't panic, we don't mean to startle you
If you could just remove all your clothes
Shut your mouth and relax and we'll remove a part of you
Wrap her up, wrap her up, wrap her up
Struggle deep inside the cobweb, we can feel the strands shake off
Fill up my stomach with heartbeats!
Skitter backwards into cluttered recesses, your home is ours!
Everything you threw out, abandoned;
We took as our own, built it up in our own way
Mansion of mess! A legacy of refuse, eaten memories and scars
Don't stay. I don't care, just let me be or make me whole
Walk, crawl, run. As long as you don't forget this place, our faces, these old floors
"Home is where the hearts are," said the hunger to the waiting predator
Now I know where to go. "Home is where the fun starts,"
Said the hunger to the waiting predator
Yeah, I know where to go. Go for the throat
