Eat You Alive - The Oh Hellos

He said to me

Child, I’m afraid for your soul

These things that you’re after, they can’t be controlled

This beast that you’re after will eat you alive

And spit out your bones

She’ll string you along and she’ll sell you a lie

But there’s nothing but pain on the edge of a knife

There is no courage in flirting with fear

To prove you’re alive

I’ve seen the true face of the things you call «life»

The song of the siren that holds your desire

But Death, she is cunning, and clever as hell

And she’ll eat you alive

Oh, she’ll eat you alive
