Tantalus Lyrics

Tantalus lyrics

Listen child

i will sell you a story

I'm so glad to see you

and reclaim one for my own

priceless proverbs

written for soliciting

a cost to save you

lessons in divinity



A few kind words of praise

to greet you

you should never turn our back

to a savior

i will provide another chance

chances to control



Why should i die

why can't we die

convinced you are defective

a savior the same

I'll pretend to heal you

and fuck you in the end



i still breathe as you do

and i die just the same

fucked and blessed at the same time

Now i'm your god again



Gag you for silence

to ensure you will listen to me



Burn the bridges

That we must soon cross

knowledge will recede

roots shall grow with me

no diversions consider this



stretching down to sip the water at

my feet

Reaching down to have it dissipate

in consideration i would die for

you

then i lie

Decide for yourself
