lyrics

He let himself in, what a horrible gentleman.
The taxidermist's revenge as he stuffed and mounted her.
Her chest was a bed of fears, without a family, left only tears.

So god knows I'd eat dirt for diamonds, raised by wolves then fed to lions.
I am a selfish man, I've lead a selfish life, and my love is murder.
And his death would be an act of god, so I killed him, don't you see
I deserve your accolades and your daughters,
Feed me your firstborn.
I am the polluter of seraphim,
I starve the cherubs in the gardens of eden.

My friend,
I am your neighbor.
My friend,
Let me in,
My friend,
we're all alone,
My friend,
I'm coming home.

Buried demons don't just die of neglect, they dig our graves from the filth of regret.
But there is nothing after this the ultimatum is death, if god disagreed he would stop playing deaf.

Burnt into my lips beaten into my soul, salt the land in my heart where nothing can grow.
I must be consumed so that I become whole.
I am a spirit longing for home.

I am a spirit longing for home.

Ghosts shake in trepidation, haunted by the fangs of imposition.

My friend, You don't belong here,
My friend, Get out of my home,
My friend My heart is haunted,
My friend, We all die alone

Burnt into my lips beaten into my soul, salt the land in my heart where nothing can grow.
I must be consumed so that I become whole.
I am a spirit longing for home.
I am a spirit longing for home.

So dig yourself out, with nails and teeth.
You're only dead when you've accepted defeat.
Dig out of your grave
Dig out of your grave
Value is dead, pride has taken its place.
