Attrition

You're the puppet with the strings umbilical,
feeding of off the corpse of a world you can never change.
Off a corpse that pulls your strings.
In the heaven of flesh you're the cannibal. You're the animal.
You're the flying pig that sometimes squeals,
but only when you miss a meal.

Tear off these wings, left on me festering,
that stain my stage.

I know it's coming, said I'm coming to,
I know it's coming, It's goodbye.
I know it's coming, this is my life with you.

I know it's coming, said I'm coming to,
I know it's coming, It's goodbye.
I know it's coming, this is my life with you.

I was chosen.

You think you're saved. Blessed banality.
Mysterious ways.

Bleed for me.

You're the puppet with the strings umbilical.
You're the puppet with the strings umbilical.
You're the puppet with the strings umbilical.
You're the puppet with the strings umbilical.

Puppet. I'll kill my identity. Father. I'll do what you told me too.
Murder those that claim they're innocent. This is the promise I made to you.
Puppet. I'll kill my identity. Father. I'll do what you told me too.
Murdered for what you are guilty of. Forced attrition.

Tear off these wings left on me festering,
that stain my stage.

I know it's coming, said I'm coming to,
I know it's coming, It's goodbye.
I know it's coming, To bring my life with you.

I know it's coming, said I'm coming to,
