L.A. Salami - Def (A) Ormation Days lyrics

It happened when the pleasure dried And the summer left a storm Where the seeds of discontent reside And the darkest days are born I was withered, worn, and wonderless A waste in many ways Deformation days Beyond the hours I walk upon Behind the minutes chime Beneath the stones I stumble on Before the cusp of time I saw her gesture to the sky And weep where her widow lay Deformation days I was little more than food for four And hungrier than hell But I would fill the empty spaces Because silence knew me well But I can still be swallowed up By what that goddess says Deformation days I saw the light cascade down And settle by the bush And my innocence was jeopardized Every time I'd take a look But seeing is a virtue Despite the view that some display Deformation days I was burdened with a crucifix Cold shouldered by the king I was told he'd shed a tear for me But that don't mean a thing If I have to carry all this weight And keep the wilderness at bay Deformation days So when the drifters ask me now What then should I tell? I'm frozen from the rib cage in I was lifeless for a spell And I can't take a block of ice And pa** it off as clay Deformation days I was inhaling warfare Exhaling higher crimes But destruction and obsession Mean progression down the line And I've been torn apart more times Than I care to say Deformation days As I lay wounded on the road Where the beasts divide their k** It occurred to me the rate at which We exchange life for a meal And the earth is hungrier than I And I'm lower down the chain Deformation days I sit amongst the leaders now The lepers and the crooks And silence hangs as money talks Its tongue stifled by a hook Because you're only ever as rich As the wealth you have to save Deformation days I saw her burn down the house And turn my sons to flame She disappeared soon after that And left me in this broken way But if I do see her again I'd still ask her to stay Deformation days She was my shepherd, love, and guide The answer when I'd pray She'd hold me up And breaking was the price she had to pay But the gods tell me to carry on That she'll return to me someday Deformation days
