"They're Coming For You" lyrics

"They're Coming For You"

You walked many milestones
Converge into lunacy
This gift, my burden
The foolish optimist in me

I play the victim and you play the fool
Pretending to come undone
Destruction your only rule
Living for pain you gave all your life
The demon with black-snaked eyes
The devil with no surprise

The skin has hardened
Callous to words I say
The stare now hollowed
Soured and ornery
Your relevance was never found
Turned into dust so quickly

A sheep in wolf's clothing that's wracked with fear
A diamond devolved to dust
A tower decaying with rust
Building your house on a landfill of lies
Cracking and crumbling down
Sirens of truth will sound

King of the liars
King with a crooked crown
Becoming the jackal
The jackal, the jackal
Cunning in treachery
The jackal, the jackal
The jackal, deceit and betrayal

King of the liars
King with a crooked crown
Becoming the jackal
The jackal, the jackal
Cunning in treachery
The jackal, the jackal
The jackal, deceit and betrayal

Echoes of savages past
Remain into the soil
Dead of the night
Seemingly no way out
Swallowing down in the spaces
Between the heart and the mind
Heart and the mind

The jackal, the jackal
The jackal, cunning in treachery
The jackal, the jackal
The jackal, deceived and betrayed
