Scream Queen Lyrics

Well, I fear these last days of Rome might endure for eternity

If we persist gnawing on hands that are nurturing

She'll desert us leave us to dirt and sea

Open welcome arms to returning comets hurtling

Nursing sleep through unearthly screams

Ringing bells that yell out emergency

lights flashing red, illuminate a murder scene

She's already dead, all we can do is curb the bleed

Instead we press our stems to that gash and drink

And proclaim it a magic trick

A talisman embellishing a wish

But happiness expires the second is exists

Everything dies and everything rots and

Everything's alive until it's forgotten

Eventually everything's history

We pluck quills, sterilise villainy

You can hear her weeping

She offered up her body, We modified it

She gave us her love, we sodomised it

She offered up her heart, we ostracised it

She gave up everything, we monetised it

Satellites capture x-rays, she's broken internally

A cancerous mass like a map of a murky sea

A shoreline of mercenaries

Or a serpent on that tree that bought about the curse of eve

Are we're the worst of these

Less like Inhabitants, more like a purge, disease

She screams out, mercy please

But can't be heard over the murmurs of all our needs

So all that we've built and believed in

Will clear disappear, return to the ether

Control is a finite illusion

We the victims of own convolution

Conclusion, a mother smothered by her own litters greed

Nipples bleed out to a whittled feed

Living in the shadow of her former glory

The darkest chapters of a cautionary story, pour me.

You can hear her weeping

She offered up her body, We modified it

She gave us her love, we sodomised it

She offered up her heart, we ostracised it

She gave up everything, we monetised it

We've polluted her bloodstream with our yesterdays

Built monuments of us on her cherry face

Gorged on her flesh weaponised bones

Buried her majesty, erected thrones

Tore out hair,bunches, clumps

Introduced smoke to her undeveloped lungs

Immersed her in tears of our own doing

And we've raped with an entitlement

So exclusively human
