Cannibals
Cannibals

Cannibals in my mind of mine
Come on back sweetly
It feels so divine
Approach me discreetly
I'll run every time
It's always for me
Time cannot rewind
Days are empty
Things I wasn't meaning to find
Cause you remind me
Sometimes we're so kind
Everything we wanted to be
I'm losing my wasted mind
Ran out of fake abilities
December days the sheep are blind
So maybe my words are obtuse
SomeHow I lost my tainted youth
I'll never miss my hopeless self-abuse
I find myself outside their booth
They're eating steak within a noose
I'd rather freeze; I know the truth
A perfect tool without a use
A cavity without a tooth
Don't want this "gift"; I'm cutting loose
Your dreams for me still weigh me down
The avenues becoming clear
Another year, another town
I'll see you around
Some day soon
