lyrics
Now there’s a certain ring to the line that you’ve been feeding to me
so i’m uncertain bout the person that taught you to speak,
But i’m still careful when i peak about your circles to see, exactly what point they meet,
Exactly where footprints have been.
And i’m aware of what symbols you’ve been burying please,
Don’t despair I’ll be brief, I better put you to sleep,
where you can meld with the grief that you’ve been nursing, deceive
the sum of parts you deplete whenever asked to retreat,
I better leave you where you lay to feed off babies scraps,
Well whaddya make of that, wait patiently to take it back,
I better leave you where you lay to feed the gutter cracks,
Patiently I take it back, well what do we make of that?
You got a dirty streak of strangeness cross ya eyebrows, and
I Pull it down a notch, the knot, to let your breath out and
there’s a sour taste emanating from your mouth, how
does it feel to know exactly what I’m all about?
I got a notion you can taste the way i break inside you,
I gotta feeling that you like the way I raise your value,
I feel a shadow vaguely fall across your airways,
Kinda passive how you didn’t even fight to stay.
I better leave you where you lay to feed off babies scraps,
Well whaddya make of that, wait patiently to take it back,
I better leave you where you lay to feed the gutter cracks,
Patiently I take it back, well what do we make of that?
And it’s a system i been systematic to resist and
It’s symptomatic of my Self to expect you’ll listen
I put it on your shelf like a beacon of the help I’ve given,
So self-engaged that you adjusted to this strange position
Barely guarded in the gaze of this hazy moon, I
Shudder naked cross the space you still devoid and move I
Flutter fingertips with ease across your eyelids and
With a twist, watch the bitterness desist inside you
I better leave you where you lay to feed off babies scraps,
Well whaddya make of that, wait patiently to take it back,
I better leave you where you lay to feed the gutter cracks,
Patiently I take it back, well what do we make of that?
And so I leave you where you lay to feed off babies scraps,
Well whaddya make of that, wait patiently to take it back,
And now I leave you where you lay to feed the gutter cracks,
Patiently I take it back, well what do we make of that?
And now I leave you where you lay to feed off babies scraps,
Well what did ya make of that, wait patiently to take it back,
And so I left you where you lay to feed the gutter cracks,
Patiently I take it back, well what do we make of that?
And so I left you where you lay to feed off babies scraps,
Well what did ya make of that, wait patiently to take it back,
And so I left you where you lay to feed the gutter cracks,
Patiently I take it back, well what do we make of that?
