Scavenger Lyrics

Been barking up the tree you fled

Now I'm feeling unleashed

Maybe needed to be kicked

Before I'd ever show my teeth

Though I've been gnawing all I could, chewed through every little bit 

I've been searching for the bones buried in this pile of shit

But you turned out to be spineless 

Loyal to the end despite this 

When you fell I was around

You were limping, almost down

It was easy, you didn't need to need me

And now I know my place

I still savour the taste

My jaws were made to hold

And never to let go, so

I'm by your side, although you died on me a while back 

I wonder when, but you said that you weren't keeping track

And now your flesh is kinda bitter, I know I could do better 

I'm a scavenger, but soon I will attack

I'm by your side, although you died on me a while back 

I wonder when, but you said that you weren't keeping track

And now your flesh is kinda bitter, I know I could do better 

I'm a scavenger, scavenger

You looked delicious on the surface

Opened you up and saw the maggots

By the time I saw you were infested

I was already invested, but

Holding on is so exhausting, your promises are rotting

Don't know how this thing has been festering

Need a distraction, feed my narrow vision

Drinking marrow in my kitchen, heedless if it's poison

Running through my system, scrounging like a vixen

Eating these worms, cos' the can's been opened

Losing my mind, losing my sight

Slowly the only one blind to my plight

By your side, although you died on me a while back 

I wonder when, but you said that you weren't keeping track

And now your flesh is kinda bitter, I know I could do better 

I'm a scavenger, but soon I will attack

I'm by your side, although you died on me a while back 

I wonder when, but you said that you weren't keeping track

And now your flesh is kinda bitter, I know I could do better 

I'm a scavenger, scavenger

Still feeding off a years' old corpse

Still can't see that what I'm beating is a dead horse

All this time I didn't know, I've got these strings upon my bow

It's time to loosen up and let those arrows go

All this time I've bottled up; now let it flow

Throw away the waste, cos' now it's time to chase 

I'm picking up a brand new scent 

I want it

And this time, it's gonna be fresh, I promise

Till then

I'm by your side, although you died on me a while back 

I wonder when, but you said that you weren't keeping track

And now your flesh is kinda bitter, I know I could do better 

I'm a scavenger, but soon I will attack

I'm by your side, although you died on me a while back 

I wonder when, but you said that you weren't keeping track

And now your flesh is kinda bitter, I know I could do better 

I'm a scavenger, scavenger
