Damascus Lyrics by Dave Hause

Devour

0

Welcome, my friends, to the show
Dance and drink if you'd like or sit back and take notes
It's a fine night to test what you know
Who you fear, who you love, and who you cling to for hope
Hope [x2]

There's a strange stifling smell in the air:
Cigarette smoke, perfume, and a tinge of despair
I guess we should all get prepared
Load your guns, take your pills, and start saying your prayers
Say your prayers[x2]

I promised that this wouldn't happen to me
I've got scales grown over my eyes and I can't see

If I falter as this moves along
Don't you stop me to ask if there's anything wrong
Your best bet's to just move along
Throw my bones in the river and write me a song
Sing these songs, sing these songs

I promised that this wouldn't happen to me [x2]
Now I'm stockpiling bullets and vitamin C
I promised that this wouldn't happen to me
I've got scales grown over my eyes and I can't see

Take the scales off my eyes I'm trying to see
