Rat King

You sold your soul like a heathen
For the "rat race" that's underway
Just to breathe the heat of the devil
Until your lungs break
Well is your long race
Just a fail safe?
How many more would you cannibalize?
Would their guts taste
Like your disgrace?
You're a monster
You're despised

And though your blood runs colder now
And there's men and there's mice
And shadows in waiting
With a thirst for the light
Burn down another
As you learn to forget
Beginning gets harder again
Long gruesome and slow
You took a leap
You found the edge
There's a torn shape
To your own soul
That's waiting
For something
To end
