Eat the Price

Verse 1

Closer now

Closure wrapped in iron thread

Enclosed inside the shape I made

Beloved turned a stranger's head

Foreign tongues

Spoken over borrowed ground

No need to hurry down the hall

No need to rush the final sound

Pre-Chorus

Clock ticks sideways

Counting every crack

Time is almost done now

Time is never coming back

Chorus

Feel the animal inside

Feel its taste upon the skin

Eat the beast and start with bones

This is where the pain begins

Verse 2

Stranger on a wednesday

Stranger on a monday too

All year long I held the door

All time long I waited through

Feel the bones against the light

Eat the price you chose to pay

This is the quickening at last

This is the end of yesterday

Pre-Chorus

Clock ticks under

Every breath I take

Time is almost gone now

Time is what I'll give to break

Chorus

Feel the animal inside

Feel its taste upon the skin

Eat the beast and start with bones

This is where the pain begins

Breakdown

(Closer)

(Closer now)

(Enclosed)

(Enclosed somehow)

Chorus

Feel the animal inside

Feel its taste upon the skin

Eat the beast and start with bones

This is where the pain begins
