Lyrics
The snare cut a tear right below my knee
close to the bone where the hard truth meets
I was pulling at the wire wrapped around my leg
Before I bore my teeth
Before I ate my pain
A trap's never set to be plain or seen
They got me with a sharp tooth grin at the cost of dreaming
It's an innocent script for the roles we play
That's just the nature of a carnivore. I never felt like setting fires before
Agony eater,
I couldn't keep you at bay
Under the cleaver
I'm carrion carried away
I never learned how to fight, I never learned how to cope
They bit a hole in my neck, and then inhaled my hope
What a horrible mess, what an ugly mark
If I could bear to cut their snare, I'll wear the ache in a scar
Agony eater,
Like Saturn pulls at his prey
Under the cleaver,
I'm carrion carried away
Agony eater,
Too late to make an escape
Under the cleaver,
I'm carrion carried away
The meat they eat doesn't end in death
in a tungsten stomach with coffee breath
Gone piece by piece to the slaughterhouse
Down a talking tunnel with no way out
It's a siren song from a tiger's tooth
It's a subtle snare it's a lair's truth
Its crimson smile in a velvet hood
I need a silver kiss I need some sharpened wood
Game gets bitter when it thinks its caught
If they catch you by the foot, fucking gnaw it off
