I listen with stapled lips Waiting My predator, prey, and companion I don't know if it's safe to rip the silence out of me I can't trust myself to move So I sit as this black and silver storm cloud builds up inside me Threatening to tear me to shreds if I continue to stay silent And I stay silent The words ache at the back of my throat And I refuse to say them Better to embrace my sticky metal suicide Than the predator slash through my flesh and veins Better to waste away in my lyric starvation Than let a beast **** me
