Carcass by The Outliers

Carcass
You said you're alive but you're a fucking carcass
You said you're alive
but you're as vibrant as a mannequin
A wasted carafe your body
contains the ashes of a holy land
our bond was like iron
but years of rust has weakend the chains

Now this is what you've become?
Once a proud, strong lion
Now just a pile of bones
Do you know what you defend?
A fallacious serpent
whos torment has no end

And I can't fucking take it
Come back to the light

Have you ever looked in the eyes of your kin and could honestly say that you're even listening?
Medusa's turned you to stone and I don't have the remedy
(Seclusion from the earth) is your key to ease but the ones who really need you are still out here bleeding
You've left us hung out to dry
Skin peeled, poured acid on our wounds
And now we will have to be the ones with the last laugh
And watch you rot away from the inside out
Just living day to day in your cell of shame
Letting sirens run away at the mouth, who's to blame?
Hypocracy has you buried deep in it's hands
Empty accusations are the only words you chant
Turn your back on us, let's take a step in reverse
And go back to the greatest gift you were given on this earth

We would have killed for you
Cut our arms and bled right through
Now you push us away
I guess the picture comes to focus and we see just where you stand

My eyes have now been opened
I guess I'll take my leave

So I,
I won't disrupt your life
Won't cuase you strife
Won't talk just fucking nothing
But don't you cry
When you want back the time
Just dry your eyes
Cuz tell you one thing brother
Don't you ever fucking think that things will be the same again
Family tree is wilting, this apples filled with fucking poison
I'll cut my ties
You won't slow down my life
I'll watch you die
You did this to yourself (x3)

You're as vibrant as a mannequin
