The Afterbirth - Succumb to Life
The pacing of technology, by the time it is harnessed

With one hand open into the dark
You try to feel and grasp
The other hand now let's go
As life succumbs to life

The Afterbirth - Devouring the Hungry Ghost
Devour... Doomed to roam an island inhabited in life Soul of a man - no body or mind Lost as they linger in time A hungry ghost which moans and longs to die Hear them - at
The Afterbirth - Tightening the Screws
The musk anoints my nose Subtle expressions, body languages, just intuition, predators mission As pungent a musk as noses could trust Like dogs in the night not guided by
