A Tale Of Outer Suburbia

Pry the darkness from my eyes

Divided, let the light seep in

Trees devoid of branches and hollow hives

An endless black and empty beds

It's not the same, something's changed

I never used to be able to see past the trees

A thousand unfamiliars are lying thick on the air

And I can't breathe

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

I'll tear apart the town

Then sleep, and sleep alone

If I'm a flame, I'm a forest fire

Speaking savage tongues

As I emerge from the hills

I am an avalanche

I am unchained, I'm awoken

I'll unleash hell

So I roar, pin back my ears

And stone by stone I'll tear it all

I'll tear it apart

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

(This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home)

I'll tear apart the town

Then sleep, and sleep alone

(This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home)

I've lost faith

The forest's changed

My stomach's empty

I'm feeling faint

I've lost heart

The forest's scarred

I hear no birds

Just Tvs and cars

I've lost faith

The forest's changed

My stomach's empty

I'm feeling faint

I've lost sight

The forest's died

The brambles are bare

And I'm hollow inside

Each breath rattles like dice in my chest

Each breath gambled, unwinding till death

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

(This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home)

I'll tear apart the town

Then sleep, and sleep alone

(This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home)
