'bite' you said ' Learn to bite the hand that feeds
you think you know where borders lead?
they'll drink as much as you can bleed
if you have the teeth then do the deed
bite the hand, bite the hand that feeds'


Bite (the hand that feeds)

I met you down the rabbit hole at the end of resurrection road
that cul-de-sac of shambling bodies staring through the empty in me.
I asked you what you came here for. You answered 'mirror on the wall,
to save yourself at all dont just pretend to hear me'

'Bite', you said, 'learn to bite the hand that feeds
you think you know where borders lead?
they'll drink as much as you can bleed
if you have the teeth then do the deed
bite the hand, bite the hand that feeds'

you waved your hand and turned to go, and said 'the choice is yourts and yours alone'
that there is no exit you just choose to go or stay, either way by now you pay
i stumbled pas the empty eyes the bodies piled up grey as sky
you said 'dont follow, dont do what i do, run if you still have the strength to'

'bite' you said ' Learn to bite the hand that feeds
you think you know where borders lead?
they'll drink as much as you can bleed
if you have the teeth then do the deed
bite the hand, bite the hand that feeds'

Dear God, dear lord: you never answered when i called
dear god, dear lord: youre just a whisper under the roar
dear god, dear lord: a rumour theres no substance for
a nothing when the rush is gone
bite the hand, bite the hand that feeds.

feel the falling, endless falling
the voiceless bottomless, the calling
siren song to promise flight so fleeting in this fading light

with hands over my ears i run. The shadows loom and fall undone
all tongues and mouths and blackened arms, your hold you own out, open palm and say:
bite. bite the hand that feeds.
