There's no more rails to lay No more games to play You've found your all-time low No more gold will galvanize your dream Or heighten your esteem You're back to where you started off long ago Just waitin' here for the unknown to show When the bird of prey took hold of your heart And it ate a centrepiece part by part Every vein froze in icy silence When the bird of prey was done poking holes In the body that still hosted your soul There's only you and your false pretence Your days of youth have gone You lived the dream for so long And never cared for lives beyond your own No tears were ever shed When the world around you bled You just watered the devastating seeds you'd sown When the bird of prey took hold of your heart And it ate a centrepiece part by part Every vein froze in icy silence When the bird of prey was done poking holes In the body that still hosted your soul There's only you and your false pretence Suddenly perspectives had changed Your mind evolved from set to deranged The bitter taste of your own medicine What a sin When the bird of prey took hold of your heart And it ate a centrepiece part by part Every vein froze in icy silence When the bird of prey was done poking holes In the body that still hosted your soul There's only you and your false pretence
