Handful of Locusts
Lyrics by Kimberly K./Music by Mark Black
I've got death on my hips
and sweat on my lips
and a never ending chain of thoughts
Without you around
I've got free time to gloom
and a solace seeking scream
that could silence a room
One more reason is all that I need
To step back off this ledge
and make a legend of me
With a whisper of words
and a ocean of tears
can't bring back the phrases
that I ache to hear
Step back from your presence
denounce it once more
Feel the weight of my pleasure
like the creaks in the floor
fictitious for me
to ponder and sweat
all the needs that were needed
were never quite met
Long disillusions brought a far sharper focus
than one could have sought with a handful of Locusts
(repeat)
Chrous:
Enough's too much and I'm losing my focus
All I'm left with is a handful of Locusts
(repeated)
A vague recollection
stands between me
and suffocation
a bridge still burning
a fiery dedication
to hollow me out
after filling me up
I'm losing my mind
a million memories undone
Chrous:
Enough's too much and I'm losing my focus
All I'm left with is a handful of Locusts
(repeated)
