The Shark's Own Private Fuck

we choke on the poison wind 
well these sad eyes can tell the story 
walk along an empire's path 
and you said you'd come back again 
but you talk to yourself 
believing the fear that drives your greed 
when you discover the empty place 
a hollow world of instant pleasures 
the way you were 
so disturbed 
what's your worth? 
what is it you heard? 
try to smile as they devour our youth 
with a diamond eye you gaze 
at the blackened plains spread out beneath you 
when the lights go out you'll see 
the world as you have never known it 
and i talked to myself 
believing that you would come back again
