People Who Eat Darkness

I live in the flat next door

And I can hear you fuck your girlfriends through the wall

But the only thing we share

Is the slightest nod as we're passing on the stairs

Behind the closed doors

The bees were buzzing, inciting me to war

You're penitent maybe

But it's really not your fault, you fail to see

We who eat the darkness

We who eat the darkness

I take out the trash at night

And on Thursdays I go shopping for supplies

I walk my son to school

And I seem to have the same problems as you

But what you will see

Are the shreds of what I want you to believe

And all that you hold dear

Is under threat from someone all too near

We who eat the darkness

We who eat the darkness

Well, you lost control and your kids became confused

Among the powder kegs with nothing left to lose

So now your chickens are coming home to roost

Do you think the fight is real?

Do you feel my teeth are snapping at your heels?

You tell me how to live

And you feed me with your poison till I'm sick

Pretend that we're not here

If you look the other way, we disappear

We want you to ignore

The people who eat darkness from next door

We who eat the darkness

We who eat the darkness

We who eat the darkness

We who eat the darkness

Well, you lost control and your kids became confused

Among the powder kegs with nothing left to lose

So now your chickens are coming home to roost
