People Who Eat Darkness

I live in the flat next door

And I can hear you fuck your girlfriend through the wall

But the only thing we share

Is the slightest nod as we're passing down the stairs

But behind the closing doors

The bees were buzzing

Inciting me to war

The plan [?] may be

But it's really not your fault you failed to see

We eat darkness

We eat darkness

I take out the trash at night

And on Thursday's I go shopping for supplies

I walk my son to school

And I seem to have the same problems as you

But what you will see

I was [?] someone I wanted you to believe

And all that you hold dear

Is under threat from someone all too near

We eat darkness

We eat darkness

Then you lost control

And your kids became confused

Among the powder kegs

With nothing left to lose

So now your chickens

Are coming home to roost

Do you think the bite is real?

Do you feel my teeth they're snapping at your heals?

Do tell me how to live

Then you feed me with your poison till I'm sick

Pretend that we're not here

If you look the other way we disappear

We want you to ignore

The people who eat darkness from next door

We eat darkness

We eat darkness

We eat darkness

We eat darkness

Then you lost control

And your kids became confused

Among the powder kegs

With nothing left to lose

So now your chickens

Are coming home to roost
