January 31, 438 - The Mountain Goats

When the hunger turns in on itself, it begins to devour its host

Who do you turn to for help?

Who do you love the most?

I dance with the ones that brought me

I dance with the ones that brought me here

When the word comes down

The wire that they’re looking to make an example of you

Skin and bones around a campfire beneath the stars

No good end in view

I dance with the ones that brought me

I dance with the ones that brought me here

I dance in the dark, all alone

I dance for the God on the throne

If they come catch me and arrest me, mid step

Let me go down dancing, let me be the last one left

Crushed like a sea shell by a sea-side warrior’s foot

Trying to turn the tide

When the hunger’s all that holds you together

Who do you want by your side?

I dance with the ones that brought me, yeah

I dance with the ones that brought me here
