eskafell - paradise lost lyrics

[intro]
that look in your eyes betrays you
i can see you’re sailing
(sirens call around you)
and i want to see

[verse 1]
curiosity peaked when eve dropped her core by my feet
i bit, the fruit’s sweet
but there’s cyanide in the seeds
now it’s stuck in my t++th and my head
the serpent succeeds and i fall like a leaf
on trees to feast
transgress, decieve, repeat
and my descent’s complete
i’m in a dream where i’m running with no end or starting
from my fears incarnate
i’ve found myself within a forest dark
lost ’cause me and the path grew apart
a carpet of clouds means a starless sky
but the skin of the fruit still shines bright
a tough outside but beyond that rind the juice divine
post snack supine, the pain’s behind, the pain’s confined

[bridge]
(and i want to see)
break the skin
break the bread
taste the flesh
it’s bittersweet
[verse 2]
i met the devil at the crossroads
he said i don’t want your soul, i want the world chico
then he choked on a laugh in the cold
and i could smell whisky and smoke
i had expectations of patrick bateman
private schooled with royal relations
instead he had a voice like mud
five o’clock shadow under a hood
there was fire in his eyes and hate in his heart, but
it doesn’t do him no good
now he’s just old and bitter
’cause history’s written by the victors
the conquered are lost to the past
while their subjugators grow fat
if a people are taught from birth
like those that worship the verses
that the meek shall inherit the earth
then they won’t fight back
i took food as my church
but is it still comfort eating
if you only stop when it hurts?
when you’re not careful with tending you garden
it’s easy to wake up surrounded by darkness
