Eaten By Worms

Long forgotten the years I've spent What does it take to be content? Trying to find it on my own terms Has left me eaten by the worms Seen some lifetimes on my own So many people but still alone Clinging on an idle heart Until its shell is ripped apart I never claimed I have the truth Life seems hollow and void of proof Rambling on in my defence I don't need to be right but please… Understand What a hopeful gasp This ephemeral lust Turns to dust So what did it cost What does it cost? Take a cleaver and split my skull Look for yourself, it ain't that dull With a knife of your own choice Cut my heart, it bleeds like yours In this world love is to be found A comfort place with a fleeting bound Looking over what is left behind Satisfaction yearning to be mine I never claimed I have the truth Life seems hollow and void of proof Rambling on in my defence I don't need to be right but please… Understand What a hopeful gasp This ephemeral lust Turns to dust So what did it cost What does it cost To erase the past? Seems grotesque to ask In which truth to trust I never claimed I had the truth Can't contain it in a simple thought Life seems hollow and void of proof But it's the only thing we've got What a hopeless grasp For the pleasures of lust Here at last When the shackles are cast Vanitas I'm lost Such a stunning palace Bound to collapse It's written in dust Vanitas I'm lost When the shackles are cast It's written in dust Vanitas I'm lost
