Vultures

(album: Critical As Water - 2018)

I think the party's over
And it's all about to change
Couldn't last forever
Doesn't matter what they say
And all the chandeliers are broken
And the doors are blowing open

This old hall decomposed
And the walls are slowly breaking down to stone
When the vultures come to greet you
They'll be smiling very sweetly
As they pick your bones
We've been sold down the river, now we're never going home

I think the party's over
It's been going on too long
And I can hear some music
I don't recognize the song
And there's nobody left dancing
Cause the floors are caving in

And this old hall decomposed
And the walls are slowly breaking down to stone
When the vultures come to greet you
They'll be smiling very sweetly
As they pick your bones
We've been sold down the river, now we're never going home

And nature takes back what it's owed
And all that remains is overgrown
But life will have its way

One day there'll be another home, I suppose
And the walls will slowly rise up from the stone
When the vultures come to meet you
You'll be smiling very sweetly
'Cause you know
We survived the river, I think we're coming home
