words k. barker

Broken
Happy man, half a man.
Give him what he wants, and he takes it from her.
Laughing
At the world around him trembling.
Shaken by reality

He wants her down there.
Mr. Festival
He'll take him down there.
Mr. Carnivore
He wants her down there.
Mr. Festival
He'll take him down there.
Mr. Carnivore

Swallowed
By everything from head to toe.
Baptize his girth in a pool of yellow sweat.
Downward
Can't stop the noise inside.
Feeding on the memories of floundering mass.

These things will go away. Just can't get rid of this.
These lives will go to waste. Just can't get rid of this..

Liar
Taken by self control.
Breathing down the throat of what he used to be.
Stolen
From underneath the nose
Of babies in candyland, of porcupines and lemonade.

He wants her down there.
Mr. Festival
He'll take him down there.
Mr. Carnivore
He wants her down there.
Mr. Festival
He'll take him down there.
Mr. Carnivore

Quicklime. Quicklime. Quicklime. Quicklime.

These things will go away. Just can't get rid of this.
These lives will go to waste. Just can't get rid of this.
