And It Went (For My Jugular)

"And it Went (for my Jugular)"

There is no way ahead
There is no life to be spread
Even the sky's looking dead
As the world goes on infrared
Here goes the blood you have shed
To stop the veins from being fed
Like a hungry lion
Would have done
Under this Sun
Before all it's over and done

Life went for my jugular
With claws and teeth
And fingers on
But the beauty of survival it's on the run

I've learned to suppress
All the anger in my voice
And the animal in distress
Becomes tamed by self-choice
I reckon this world is in flames
But why do you act so surprised
All living creatures do the same
They do the best to survive
Before all it's over and done

Life went for my jugular
With claws and teeth
And fingers on
But the beauty of survival it's on the run

This world feels like
Being held by a Boa Constrictor
We're running out of bones
We are running out of bones and breath
