(This is called People Who Eat Darkness)
ย
I live in the flat next door
And I can hear you fuck your girlfriend through the wall
But the only thing we share
Is the slightest nod as we're passing on the stairs
But behind the closed doors
The bees will buzz, inciting me to war
You're penitent, maybe
But it's really not your fault you fail to see
We who eat the darkness (the darkness)
We who eat the darkness (the darkness)
ย
I take out the trash at night
And on Thursdays, I go shopping for supplies
I walk my son to school
And I seem to have the same problems as you
But what you will see
Are the threads of what I want you to believe
And all that you hold dear
Is under threat from someone all too near
We who eat the darkness (the darkness)
We who eat the darkness (the darkness)
ย
Well, you lost control and your kids became confused
Among the powder kegs, with nothing left to lose
So now your chickens are coming home to roost
ย
Do you think the fight is real?
Do you feel my teeth are snapping at your heels?
You who tell me how to live
And you feed me with your poison 'til I'm sick
Pretend that we're not here
If you look the other way, we disappear
We want you to ignore
The people who eat darkness from next door
We who eat the darkness (the darkness)
We who eat the darkness (the darkness)
We who eat the darkness (the darkness)
We who eat the darkness (the darkness)
ย
Well, you lost control and your kids became confused
Among the powder kegs, with nothing left to lose
So now your chickens are coming home to roost
ย
(Thank you so much, thank you)
(Thank you)
