Even The Vultures Have Moved On

What did you think you would find?
Buried in the dark of th night
Holding you close. was i blind and naive
Was it that obvious?
Nurture the need to conceal
We're going to lose it all
Given the chance to prevail to rise up
But you've crawled into my heart.

Given the time and space
We could escape the enemy
But there's a sense that all hope is gone
On this desolate landscape
The scavengers scale for prey
You offer no reply.

Someday you will find your way through time
Someday you will follow secure in something more.

Sickly sweet sinful greed
The leeches stake their claim
You offer a kiss and a sigh
Go ahead make your bed here of sand and stone
Plant your feet in the soil
Let the fertile seed sink in
The carrion doves they command us
Beyond the dark horizon.

Among the wastelands
Amid the land of broken hearts
It's just a mound of flesh and bones
That's all we are
The cast of many faces exalt the process
Now it's done
Even the vultures have moved on.
