Last Rites - Ingested

Cast out of heaven and closer to hell

My eyes narrow as I’m blinded by the sunlight

Is this who I am and who I’m meant to be?

Forced out and exiled from my birthright?

As my circle grows smaller I feel more secure

As the faceless fall down by the wayside

Did I know you, or did you even ever know me?

This sea of doubt takes me under with its riptide

Your vain attempt to teach me a lesson

Kept me in the dark, and you kept me guessing

The illusion of something that kept me obsessing

What felt like a curse now I know was a blessing

Her words have become all the fuel that I need

For the fire to burn in the flames of my greed

And the seed that’s been sewn will have grown and bear fruit

I’ll just wait for the harvest, and she’ll follow suit

The more that we struggle, the deeper we’ll sink

Into lies that we’ve spun, but the truth is what stinks

I’ll dose myself up, my teeth I will grit

While I slowly drown in my own bullshit

Falsified feelings, I’ve become what she needs

Now she only sees me as I wish to be seen

Loyalties shrinking thinner and thinner

She hopes I’m her saint, but she’s knows I’m a sinner

Scared for a change, now she’s stuck in a rut

She won’t give me her heart, so I’ll tear out her guts

Do I sound like I’m joking?

Don’t make me fucking laugh

And you’ll see what I am when you feel my wrath

Now you return to the life that you know

Return to the shackles that stunted your growth

Two circles, full circle, we must break this cycle

Rehearsed it so perfect it’s now a recital

As my circle grows smaller I feel more secure

As the faceless fall down by the wayside

Did I know you, or did you even ever know me?

This sea of doubt takes me under with its riptide

You had a choice to make but you chose wrong

So I channeled my rage, and I wrote you this song

And this song that I’ll sing and the darkness it brings

Is what you deserve when you fuck with a king

When you fuck with a king
