lyrics

I see reptile in the curves of your mouth
Your scaly skin it reflects in the moonlight
Your grin is so wide I can see all of your teeth
My rubber neck like vertigo just pulls me in
And the cracks start showing
Reach out with your sweaty fists

Buried alive
You’ve been lost for so long
Taking a life
I’ve been wrong before now

Fallen silent, exposed and disgraced
Your big ideas are vacating the spotlight
You’ve got no grit to make ends meet
I’ve cut the rope that kept you sweet
Faceless bodies sing no songs

Buried alive
You’ve been lost for so long
Taking a life
I’ve been wrong before now
Living a lie
You’re just as obsolete, not for the last time
Barely alive
You’ve been lost and left out for so long

Gone
Smothered for too long
Screaming your swansong

I won’t tell anyone
A side of you they’ll never know
But the feeling’s gone
You were wrong to wait so long
