Vultures

(album: Dreaming Is Sinking /// Waking Is Rising - 2017)

Through these eyes, I watched you take
The spark that fights to illuminate
Trade her soul for your sickening needs
You are a cancer I will eradicate
It makes me sick
To watch you prey upon the innocent
But I can't stand by and simply be a witness
With each fist that splits open my skin
My legs fall as I fail to defend

Tell me how you still can fall asleep
When she hasn't shown her face in weeks
Tried to believe that she could outrun these demons
It's inhuman to be so cold
The vultures came and picked and pulled apart
The hell that's in her head

Don't you see yourself for who you really are
The vultures came and picked and pulled apart
The hell that's in her head
From wishing you were dead

The bloodstained pavement is the only thing my eyes succeed at seeing
I'm slipping quick into unconsciousness
But I meant it when I said it, you're so pathetic

Worthless
Despicable waste
And when she's screaming out for help
Could you hear a thing she said?
The catalyst to keep her up at night

Don't you see yourself for who you really are
The vultures came and picked and pulled apart
The hell that's in her head
From wishing you were dead

Though she may forgive, the day won't come that she'll forget
But you are the reason that she stays awake at night
Though she may forgive, the day won't come that she'll forget
So when I call your name to seal your fate, you better listen
(You better listen)

Kicked in the teeth, the vultures circle around me and I see
No hope, no peace
I fade to black with the dark surrounding
No hope, no peace
I fade to black, I fade to black
