Music For Carnivores

(album: Dearest Christian, I'm So Very Sorry For Bringing You Here. Love, Dad - 1998)

You'll hear tales
of all the great pretenders
then it comes to you...

You'll spend hours
practicing your smile
then it comes to you...

You'll be too deceived by
"The peaceful life"
but You'll spend all your worth
trying to be an angel
and then it comes to you

They don't feel the way you feel
they don't know that they hurt you
and when you forgive them for what they do

you get nothing

You will dream
all there is to dream
then it comes to you...

And when you're overwhelmed by
how apathetic we are
you'll feel powerless
as you crucify your patience
then it comes to you...

They don't feel the way you feel
they don't know that they hurt you
and when you forgive them for what they do

you get nothing

And I'm not afraid
