dalton deschain & the traveling show - the rat song lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
it’s 12 o’clock, where’s she at?
living day to day in this crumbling h-llhole
awaiting the nibbling of a godd-mn rat

our conversations while away the time
when this prison feels as final as the notches on the drywall
cut with jagged fingernails, these claws i call them mine

oh mel, you’re the only one who listens
all those outside are not trying to find me
and i hate them for not letting me out
i am nothing to them in my room
with just my thoughts and only you, and…
oh god, is this how i now live my life?

i called her melody
‘cause that was what was in my head
some tune from germany
i haven’t heard since in the trenches
of a war i fought a lifetime before
now i’m the only one i’m fighting for

[chorus 1]
melody
they left us behind
but you’re the only friend that matters
melody
you will always be mine
because we know what happens to those who try leave…
they end up in the belly of a rat

[verse 2]
an afternoon spent sniffing at the dust
you know how to listen, that’s something i’ve been missing
f-ck, it feels so good to turn my me into an us!

you do not know loneliness
oh, not as i know it, i’ve always been homeless
home for me is time travel, for all that i miss

and mel, i don’t even think that you love me
since the rubble trapped me, it’s just a rat talking to rats, i fear
oh god, is this how i now live my life?

please don’t abandon me
because that’s all i’ve ever known
and now insanity
sneaks in, before i see the daylight i’ll have grown
too hard to remember who i loved before
but my own life i’ll keep fighting for

[chorus 2]
melody
they left us behind
but you’re the only friend that matters
melody
i fear i’m losing my mind
and to all my friends, before i finally leave…
you’ll end up in the belly of a rat

[outro]
i resolved to not need anyone
but i still dream of rescue…
