Antipathy - Pridelands

Sacrifice the light

Sit here, watch it fade and splutter

I watch your eyes grow wide

Convince me, I don’t matter

Dog-eat-dog world, are you having fun?

Did you bark for too long?

(Too long)

Never gonna change

So won’t you leave me with a scar?

Yellow teeth break the skin

Two faces look the same

With a mouth speaking false truths

A ghost lives in your shadow

Broken, murdered in their youth

Cast your magic, weave your spells

Cage me, constrain me

Sinking fangs, a poison catalyst

You won’t even notice

I’d love to see you dig your way

Out of this fucking mess you’ve made

Shifting shadows prey on everlasting doubt

I hope you’ve made your choice

I pray you make it out

Now go, cut and run

Disappear like the others

Dog-eat-dog world, are you having fun?

(Having fun? Having fun?)

And I can feel it all

A pulsating light

Triangulating now

But I need another sign

I’ve grown so selfish here

On my synthetic high

Won’t you drag me down?

I’d love to see you dig your way

Out of this fucking mess you’ve made

Shifting shadows prey on everlasting doubt

I hope you’ve made your choice

And I never believed you’d be like this

Never dreamed you’d want me dead

Your reprieve, like shelter, for a time

Coward, no spine, no guts, no neck

How I would rather watch you slip

Up all over your own self-doubt

I hope you’ve made your choice

I pray you make it

Out
