Southern Stars

Don't you walk alone
Under southern stars

These old woods of mine
 hide many animals

Only those who fight
Are blessed to carry scars

As we block the urge
To turn to cannibals

When the lullaby don't ease the soul
And the fix don't seem to be working no more
Broken pieces of reflection on the floor
Now your outside in the cold
 with tattered clothes and busted knuckles

Consume for gain
Consume to claim
Consume in vain
Consumption seems to be the only game

Deformed is life
Reborn in Flames
Something don't change
The heart is tamed When only pain remains

What we became
Far from Infallible
All Somethings tangible
All somethings flammable
