Fossils Lyrics

This is a reminder

of buried debris

My sordid past

Deemed unworthy

They were deadly reptiles

Never to be seen again

They don't know me

They can't see me

They know nothing

I choose to disassociate

The cold-blooded

Lurk in the dark

and strike from the shadows

After years grinding apart

Forging a dream to fill my heart

Betrayed and dismissed

For my intent

My self-sabotage

My teachers

My friends

My loved ones separate

Forever

Now left with spoiled hands

To build a temple from their fossils

You crawl into your pit of shame

Where there is no escape

from fires of your fate

The end result is beautiful

You thought to subvert

You did your worst

Reptiles do not discern

but through their fossils

I watch them burn
