Underbelly

Bring it to me
The kindness that stings and burns in the shade
The belief that sinks into the stomach of love
The fraud, the decay, of life
Let me imagine it can smile
Then let me poison it from beneath

Please allow me to seethe
And to wallow in the thoughts of malice
Please allow me to seethe
And to worship the promises of malice
Please allow me to seethe
And to wallow in the thoughts of malice
Please allow me to seethe
And to worship the promises of malice

Here, my thoughts are allowed to be callous
Here, my thoughts are allowed to be callous
Here, my thoughts are allowed to be callous
Here, my thoughts are allowed to be callous
I am no longer delicate
I am strength personified and I crave defeat

It has come to this
No longer intricate
I am an animal amongst animals
Awaiting retreat
It has always been
It has come to this
It has always been
It has come to this

Family mansion for this life
Family tomb for the next
Prisons of the flesh
Mass graves for city streets
Dust flesh falls the best
Dying in our creche

Family mansion for this life
Family tomb for the next
Family mansion for this life
Family tomb for the next
Prisons of the flesh
