Lyrics

there’s a forest near my house
and I can smell when something dies there
limped off the highway
leaking blood into the snow
new moon fully darkened
paralyzed and paranoid
terrified and tired
fresh meat for the scavengers
vantage point from here:
things inevitable
feel inevitable
when they don’t happen to you

no, someone else will surely do

safety for how long is
decided by the rows
of teeth in your mouth
verses claws against your throat
how would you fare
how far would you dare
push the line
it is time to eat
and I can smell when something dies out there

there’s a forest in my house
and I can’t cut down the branches
key in the lock and then I’m
locked into the storm
warmed up fully dried off
animus and animal
reflexes and skin
signal give me permission
vantage point is lost
what separates us from them
seems inevitable
when the mirror’s put away
surely someone else can pay
