Swallowing The Rabbit Whole

(Nowhere to run
Only one way down
Nowhere to go)
Thinners of the herd.

It's even deeper than before
The hole has swallowed us, the prey are in control
I've seen the other side, it's darker than it was
It stretches what I love until it falls apart
In the minutia and the nuance there's a cloud heavy above
Watching it inch closer, the blackest beam to take me up
Can see it, couldn't touch it even from the highest rung
In this cell we call a full life, is it here I'm finally stuck?

With the soldiers and all the suffering
All good men but the smothering of what's undone runs like blood
A synesthesia-filled needle pokes through the skin
How can I be so certain
That this was more than the sum of our urges?

Down we go.

It felt so good to analyze and correct
But you never really know until the foot's on your neck
Where will I be when I've aged and I can't connect
With these little rat fuck kids and the pigs who sign the checks?
When buzzing noise rots your ears and the breaths clog your chest
Or better yet what are you gonna do
When it comes your turn to pay time's debt?

Like birds of prey spitting out the bone
Like watching my dreams come and go
You're staring into your new god's soul
I'm swallowing the rabbit whole.

You're staring into your new god's soul
I'm swallowing the rabbit whole.

Down we go.

You're staring into your new god's soul
I'm swallowing the rabbit whole.
