lyrics

he’s fading in front of me
shedding skin and humanity
wastes away in a fever
but cries out in hunger
this creature plagues my family

another one comes
another lost soul
heart ripped out
another one down
another one comes
another lost soul
blood drained out
another one down
this creature plagues my family
when will it get me

quick now
tear the cloth
from the bed frame
and wrap the body in the soiled linens
and all those silk fastenings
tear the curtain
from the window
we’ll build a pyre
build a pyre for my lost brother
watch his soul as it spirals its way to heaven
he is lost to us now
his bright smile faded
his strong frame j
ust ragged skin and bone
the creature prowls at night
does he come for me
i hear him scraping down the street
i lock my windows and bar my doors
wrap this quilt
close to ragged skin and bone
i am stronger than my family
let the creature come for me
my righteous blade will swing
and cleave him limb from limb
from ragged skin and bone

-----------------------------------------------------

how come you always show up here
at the worst time
spreading discord and lies
presenting us with nothing more than a bad choice at the worse time mother has it always been like this
father has it always been this way
each time they speak
my eyes roll right back in my head
it’s just a bad choice at the worst time
you’re the worst choice at best of times

you know you talk so much shit
i can smell you coming for miles

so please explain to me what the reach is
of my democratic rights
right now i don’t feel particularly enfranchised
it’s just a bad choice at the worst time
how am i expected to stand here
without turning up my nose
at all the effluence that flows forth from your mouth
it’s just a bad choice at the worst time
you’re the worst choice at the best of times

you know

you dig up the streets and burn the bridges
can you see the smoke rising
