lyrics

If you wake in the middle of the afternoon,
in the crevice of two hills
There isn’t any need to be surprised
There’s a place for the jaded and the rabid fox
That’ll chase you for the thrill
Spending every moment in the hide
from his pissed omniscient eye
On a walk you're a feather and you catch the wind but a gust will blow you dry
Just a little spark could make you fry
You were caught by the devil cause you got too close moving on your steady jog
They’re never gonna find you
Sniffing dogs, spotlight piercing through the fog
When the rats come to play
You'll be withering away
You’re delicious and afraid
When there's nothing left to say
It’s okay, they want more
When they’re knocking at your door
You'll be lying on the floor
'Cause I’m twisted, I'm like a coil
'Cause I’m the subject of conniving toil
I was birthed by a stranger
underneath a house of an unfamiliar town,
but it's not a cause to keep me down
'Cause in the past, and the present, and the future tense there’s an itching in the mist
and it's only scratched when we exist
So trap that dark pride in your fist
When the rats come to play
You'll be withering away
You’re delicious and afraid
When there's nothing left to say
It’s okay, they want more
When they’re knocking at your door
You'll be lying on the floor
