People Who Eat Darkness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 down the stairs
But behind the closed doors
The bees were buzzing
Inciting me to war
You're penitent maybe
But it's really not your fault you fail to see
We who eat the darkness
We who eat the darkness
I take out the trash at night
And on Thursday's 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
We who eat the darkness
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
Do you think the fight is real?
Do you feel my teeth they're 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
We who eat the darkness
We who eat the darkness
We who eat the darkness
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
