lyrics

They're washing the tools, grafted on their hands
The nexus of veins pulse out of excitement
They need no eyes on their faceless head
For starring greedy at this shapeless prey

The blond fur pets, dressed of dirty scrubs
Sharpen their teeth, wishing for the remains
They will have wrung it to quench their lust

The wounds are prepared for frosted nails
They're holding me open
The straps of barbed wire rip the flesh up
Keen claws dig into an overflow of guts
And I try, to pull the game out of the rack
But my effigy, denies my distress call

And It comes back to me
how abased was the scene
My eyelids were dismayed
The wrists love the clasp,
the neck offered to the masks
Swapping his freedom for a guardianship
And I try, to make my way out of this mess
Beyond the walls, Where the hand-prints are bleeding

And it seems so wrong
From this cave you're a blurred shape
All I need is to see you shine
They reduce the nerves to silence
But I am a scream without a voice

This place, is drenched by waves from minds
That mists me over, with intrusive sights
I guess this smell,
make me moved like a pawn
The parade clouds with a scornful smile
let the puppets on their own

And it seems so wrong
From this cave you're a blurred shape
All I need is to see you shine
They reduce the nerves to silence
But I am a scream without a voice

Leaving the burden, forgetting the outline
Searching lights beyond space and time
When I'm touching the melted windowpane
When every thought becomes landscape

Am I one of them,
Fireflies with no flare
Am I one of them

Maybe I'll join you
Maybe they're right
Enter the tribe, through the estuary
