Lyrics
The first time I danced
With my hair flying
Bloodied but breathing
Grateful to be alive
The next time I danced
With my heart failing
All my flesh decaying
As the maggots thrive
It takes time to know
It takes time to show
You can tell yourself
Everything’s just fine
But the body
The body won’t lie
It takes time to show
It takes time to know
Why the shaking limbs
Why the swollen mouth
Better watch your skin
Cos it’s breaking out
The next time I went
With my nerves fraying
Last light fading
Right behind my eyes
The next time I went
With my skull buzzing
Cortisol crushing
As I die inside
The next time I went
With my skin trailing
Gashes gaping
In the sordid light
The next time I went
With my chest broken
All my ribs split open
As the insects fly
Maggot, maggot, maggot
As the maggots
As the maggots thrive
Maggot, maggot, maggot
As the maggots
As the maggots thrive
