Flowers on a Shrine

What did I expect?
I got death breathing on my neck
Not to mention all the panic over every cent I spent
There's a cold wind blowing dust over my bones
And they're all dried up and tied
Like flowers on a shrine
Shackled to this place where every mind's a gilded grave
So now I watch the vultures circle my salvation from disgrace
Paranoia's got a stranglehold on the vigor in my vein
With only trust to blame

It's an–

Eye for an eye, and nothing else matters
When you're caught dead to rights and
Time won't hold the line for drive or death-rattle
So just proceed with caution

Knock down, drag it out, I cut my teeth on a hollow ground
Been drownin' in the powder keg with dues still hangin'
High in my mind, so I'm just biding my time
To strike like villains in the night

But it's an

Eye for an eye, and nothing else matters
When you're caught dead to rights and
Time won't hold the line for drive or death-rattle
So just proceed with caution

Eye for an eye, and nothing else matters
When you're caught dead to rights and
Time won't hold the line for drive or death-rattle
So just proceed with caution
