Jagged Earth

from This Illusive World by Butterfly Convict

/

lyrics

Set the mood and do this right, thrust your temper.
Let go of the things you think, trust your instincts.
Fill the void that holds your life from desire,
Have your blood immerse your soul, be that animal.

Wind it up.
Never cage that beast inside you.
Let that thing feed.

While the world is jagged, go hunt your prey,
And I’ll dig holes so to hold control of my grave.
Yeah, we have the same heart.
In the light, your morals you will betray.
Frame by frame I saw the ways in which you've changed.

Let's start anew so dreams can be pursued, despite the circumstances.
But still I hear the buzzing in my brain like a boulder pressed against my breast.
I'm pinned down to the sound of your cries and your wise decisions tieing pity to a tree.
Restrained at bay, and held to pay, the tigers of your honesty unfold.

Oh, the virus.
Here's what I think...
It's two tongue truth.

Breaking the tradition of your family won't be so bad.
Oh, you'll sing to me and dance with every limb you own, your body won't control you.
You'll be a ghost inside your skin.
You'll be the priest that clears your sins.

Make your way to your destination.
Gotta let your feet decide.

While the world is jagged, go hunt your prey,
And I’ll dig holes so to hold control of my grave.
Yeah, we have the same heart.
In the light, your morals you will betray.

Frame by frame I saw the ways in which you've changed, you've let me down.

I've got hope, for I've gotta hope for you.
Dig down, dig down, dig deep inside yourself and scream.
