Hunger

Hunger
Door is open
Locks undone
Minds unfastened
One by one
The table is set
For thieves and fools
No invitations
There is no need
Taking their places
Taking their part

Blood dry
Black sky
Hallucinations of salvation denied
Hungry eye of the vulture
Mesmerized
Pallid acts
And lavish scraps
Dens of haunting decay
All of your demons
Come home to roost

Meat is chewed
Bones sucked dry
Lips are licked
Gratified
Detached and abstracted
Actions remiss
A gullible victim
Apathy's shame
An innocent villain
Lunacy's aim

Curses of duty
Denied
Benighted in arms
Abide
Fervently crawling
Through their own shit
Extolling the virtues
Of their
Fever pitch
Bandage of promise
Covers their eyes
Groping towards
Life
Fervently crawling
Through their own shit
Extolling the virtues
Of their
Fever pitch

Blood dry
Black sky
Hallucinations of salvation denied
Hungry eye of the vulture
Mesmerized
Pallid acts
And lavish scraps
Dens of haunting decay
All of your demons
Come home to roost

Shallow paths and
Wicked laughs
And this is only the start of the ending
Follow the leader
Follow the light
A constellation
Of devastation
Is all that's left of your world
As all of your demons
Come home to roost
