From The Belly Of The Beast
"There's no place like home"
some would frivolously say
I can eat and function
but I haven't slept in days
A new glow burns through the clouds
loudly announcing the next morn
again I've neglected restful duties
and delusive promises sworn
So pack your swag
we're leaving
we're moving on to oblivion
just you... and I
The beasts will swallow travelers
and we'll be warm... safe inside
we're moving to oblivion
so i can rest my weary eyes
to begin fresh, reap solidarity
and leave the world behind
We're moving to oblivion
to oblivion just you... and I
where we can faintly fall to rest
and slowly decay and die
onwards to oblivion!
just my mind... and I
some would frivolously say
I can eat and function
but I haven't slept in days
A new glow burns through the clouds
loudly announcing the next morn
again I've neglected restful duties
and delusive promises sworn
So pack your swag
we're leaving
we're moving on to oblivion
just you... and I
The beasts will swallow travelers
and we'll be warm... safe inside
we're moving to oblivion
so i can rest my weary eyes
to begin fresh, reap solidarity
and leave the world behind
We're moving to oblivion
to oblivion just you... and I
where we can faintly fall to rest
and slowly decay and die
onwards to oblivion!
just my mind... and I
