about

Destructive behaviour is something I find difficult to understand, but I cannot begin to fathom the revelling in self-destruction I see.

lyrics

The glass links in the chain
Wrapped around your throat
Will tighten but never shatter

And you will remain
Lost in this fog
Never looking for a way out

Its will is a millstone
Borne with the pride

Of the cattle
with the butcher's patronage
Of the flock
with the wolfpack's esteem

It's weight pulls on each
Corner of your frame
And shreds your consciousness

By a process
So subtle
It goes unnoticed until it is complete

Its will is a millstone
Borne with the pride

Of the stag
Who dances to the bow's rhythm
Of the candle
Who sways to the snuffer's lullaby

To rot alive is slow
When the taint
Is but a drop of poison each day

And these flecks have fallen
In your reservoir
For winters and summers without measure

Its will is this extinction
Borne with such pride
