lyrics

St Jude they call me to my face
The ex communicator brings
My meals in silence all alone

A rabbit: food for everything
A wolf, a wire, or a waste
My darlings dying in the snow

Do you ever feel like a fool
A dog without a bone
Cuz I’ve been down in this hole for so long
With all the drugs and the drones

I take my shoes off at the door
A drop or two is all I need
I let myself out in the cold

Lord of the flies they call me
I lick your wounds til they are clean
Never get ugly never old

Do you ever look like a fool
A dog without a bone
Cuz I’ve been down in this hole for so long
With a crown, a cross, and a throne

And it must be love
When I saw you in the crowd
And your heart felt like a gun
That had just been fired
But you look so tired
What if it was just the shame
What if it was all a game to you
