lyrics

CARNIVORE:

(darling, you’re trembling.)

I’m trying to brighten up melody
and cut ties with songs so hollow.
So I’m coughing up the bitter taste
cause I’ve found the antithetical.
This heart still beats and lord knows it’s singing,
but i’ll spark what’s left so you fucking get it.

And put to rest and doubt you hold.
But you won’t fucking get it
cause they fixed your thinking and everything your believing in.
So, fuck it.

(I wanted the whole world.
Set the world on fire.)

I cut my teeth in the drones of the darkest doves,
was locked and loaded but I didn’t know of love.
I drove my fear to inspire, then pushed back even harder.
Saw through the bullshit, and pushed back even harder.
Now I see what those long nights were for

The sunrise isn’t far behind, the rain won’t last for long.
You’re just caught in the seasons.

I felt something now I’m not the same.
I finally see all the colors from the grey.

And even with a black cloud looming above, I
caught a satellite feed and the signal was somehow enough.

It must have been the storm.

I was left dissecting the patterns of thought that had me stuck in the same rut.
I’m not wrong, I was born with this, and now I’m waking up.
Do you fucking get it?

I’ve caught sight of the sun.
I just couldn’t see it, I was breaking in the middle but changing into something.
My heart was only lost, but never too far away.

Open up! Shout to the sky you’re enough
and close off the hate with all the love you contain.
Swear you’re enough!
Bury the seeds of your past till they grow!
I’m finally feeling the sun.

The sunrise isn’t far behind, the rain won’t last for long.
You’re just caught in the seasons.
And a shift in tides is all in time, keep waiting out the storm.
My love, there’s a reason.
