Been barking up the tree you fled
Now I'm feeling unleashed
Maybe needed to be kicked
Before I'd ever show my teeth
Though I've been gnawing all I could, chewed through every little bit 
I've been searching for the bones buried in this pile of shit
But you turned out to be spineless 
Loyal to the end despite this 

When you fell I was around
You were limping, almost down
It was easy, you didn't need to need me
And now I know my place,
I still savour the taste
My jaws were made to hold
And never to let go, so

I'm by your side, although you died on me a while back 
I wonder when, but you said that you weren't keeping track
And now your flesh is kinda bitter, I know I could do better 
I'm a scavenger, but soon I will attack

I'm by your side, although you died on me a while back 
I wonder when, but you said that you weren't keeping track
And now your flesh is kinda bitter, I know I could do better 

I'm a scavenger, scavenger

You looked delicious on the surface
Opened you up and saw the maggots
By the time I saw you were infested
I was already invested, but

Holding on is so exhausting, your promises are rotting
Don't know how this thing has been festering
Need a distraction, feed my narrow vision
Drinking marrow in my kitchen, heedless if it's poison

Running through my system, scrounging like a vixen
Eating these worms, cos' the can's been opened
Losing my mind, losing my sight
Slowly the only one blind to my plight

Still feeding off a years' old corpse
Still can't see that what I'm beating is a dead horse  
All this time I didn't know, I've got these strings upon my bow
It's time to loosen up and let those arrows go
All this time I’ve bottled up; now let it flow
Throw away the waste, cos' now it's time to chase 
I'm picking up a brand new scent 
I want it
And this time, it's gonna be fresh, I promise
Till then
