I understand now what you mean by
crunching bones beneath your feet
Like how you pet the cow but eat the meat
It's all
a bloody massacre down here, don't you see
Turn your head up, up
Turn the other cheek, then show me your chin-
All of the weak when they fall to their knees
they need a god and not a mortal man
Certainly your hands can't do any good
If they can't walk leave 'em to die
or find some other crutch
Cause twist your head back and it's a battlefield

Darling I used to be like you
running away and I'd say
Fuck it
Can't save everyone
I was careful even
but hey
Something strikes the side and I go down
And I, I lie, I say I won't lie down
I take the pills every day, I shake the chills
I fake my face and don't feel so ill
And I hope and I pull but sometimes time stands still
It's a moment that sticks, seems  "this is where it ends"

But I shake off the chills
And I swallow the ills
and I count out the pills
And I pray to the god that seems so contorted in this light
Maybe one day I'll be like you again, maybe I'll be all right
Crunching bones beneath my feet
Forgetting the bodies I've left behind
Prairie dawwwwwgssss
