Flesh Tribute

The bill comes due, the flesh tribute

Black and bruised within your shell
Is it home or is it hell?
Don't give a fuck, cause who can tell?
It's only you under your spell
If you could see how far you fell
What would you give to leave that cell?
Your sense of touch and sense of smell?
Your sense of taste and sight as well?
Nothing you could offer anybody is worth all the shit you put them through
What would you give in order to turn time back and start over new?

Clean your name, reject the blame
And start shifting the focus on all of us
You're not in the wrong, it's been us all along
The bill comes due, the flesh tribute

The bill comes due, the flesh tribute
The bill comes due, the flesh tribute

Your conscience not worthy
Peel your skin off to the bone
No amount of sacrifice, will welcome you back home
The rain will always surround you
Until you drown in the flood
You hurt yourself to make even
But you can't fill the river with your blood

Tainted and toxic, begging for help
What makes you think we want your bones in our home?
A grave left unmarked and unloved
Bury your bones beneath the flesh that you stole

Clean your name, reject the blame
And start shifting the focus on all of us
You're not in the wrong, it's been us all along
The bill comes due, the flesh tribute

The light at the end
Like the base of the well
This is what you put the world through
So now it becomes your hell

How do the scars you left on us, feel on your soul?
You led us blind into the well and let it swallow us whole

Clean your name, reject the blame
And start shifting the focus on all of us
You're not in the wrong, it's been us all along
The bill comes due, the flesh tribute
Clean your name, reject the blame
And start shifting the focus on all of us
You're not in the wrong, it's been us all along
The bill comes due, the flesh tribute
