A Covenant of Thorns — The Fields of Flesh lyrics

Lyrics

I can feel it in my heart
I can feel it in my gut
Though I walk with my eyes shut, I can see
And the lives you lead
Make no difference this time
You’ll be dying on the vine
And who’ll care?
To me the buildings look like tomb-stones
Climbing up out of the grave
And I swear the people look like corpses
Crawling up out of their graves
And the things you say
And things I see
Scare the Hell out of me
I don’t want to see
And the smell makes me feel so sick
Causes the words in my throat to stick
I don’t want to believe
And all the voices that keep swimming back to me Are a cacophic symphony in my head
To me the buildings seem so empty
A monument to humanity
And I swear the people seem so worthless
A cancer on society
And the ghosts that dance
Before my eyes
Make me want to break down and cry
I don’t want to see
And the scars we wear on the outside
Far too deep to ever hide
I don’t want to believe
And the things you say
And things I see
Scare the Hell out of me
I don’t want to see
And the smell makes me feel so sick
Causes the words in my throat to stick
I don’t want to believe
And the ghosts that dance
Before my eyes
Make me want to break down and cry
I don’t want to see
And the scars we wear on the outside
Far too deep to ever hide
I don’t want to believe
