Reptile - Thornhill

Born from fumes

And built from the inside

I roll my eyes to the back of my head

My salvation is dead

Blood enters in

Ventilation for my skin

I can feel the dirt it runs through my veins

I enter eternal pain

My life is yours to gain

And It turns me inside out

I contort and dance you just sound deranged

Its human nature to stay the same

I laugh and I shake from the heat here

Let me tell you about pain

I do the devil’s dance

And it’s all in my head

My blood is cold and I’m painted in red

I’d crush my empty skull if it meant no pain

I’ll stay hidden underwater ‘til I go insane

Does this happen to you or just me?

If so let me see

Let me in

Let me see

Let me see

I had to learn how to adapt

With my eyes pushed out

And my hands held behind my back

Oh hunters I can be your prey

Just promise me you’ll stay

If I listened to you I wouldn’t be the same

Watch as I put myself in the flame

I still hear it ring in my ears

All this pain has brought me to tears

I’m not ready to fight but you should

Don’t complain when I stand where you should

Like a trance

I move with your voice

Under chants of horror around me

And I think to myself what a life

Why be here if I’m going to die
