Scavengers

(1/1)

Stroller2010:
Been adding bits and pieces to this all week and finished it earlier. I think the ending might be a bit rushed, but I'll see what you guys think.



All of the kids on the playground
Look at all the hate they've found
Very soon they will learn to fight
Seeking a thrill from causing a fright
And whilst they are still being fed
And have the skins they are yet to shed
Primal instinct lies inside
Soon they will colour outside the lines

Look at the trees standing high
Stealing air from the sky
Their own little patch of land
A lonely place where they can stand
And then you get all the little weeds
Only grown from hunger and greed
At first sight they are small and shy
But underground, they're Russian spies

It will always be a part of us
Don't pretend that it doesn't exist
It forms a part of every single cell
A scavenger inside of you dwells

All of the birds making their nests
Don't care if others have nowhere to rest
People of the sea with their perfect scales
Some small, some large, but all full of rage
Vicious reptiles covered in slime
Cold-blooded killers waiting for their time
Insects and flies, they look so kind
Consuming all that they can find

It will always be a part of us
Don't pretend that it doesn't exist
It forms a part of every single cell
A scavenger inside of you dwells

And what about the human brain?
The search for love drives them insane
Erotic thoughts run through their minds
Dreaming of a mate they may never find
The urge to hunt is the greatest test
Some turn to good, some turn to theft
It can be water, oil or currency
Do we deserve this luxury?

It such a shame that the power is wasted
On distasteful motives born from hate
Always looking for the nearest threat
Whilst the whole time it lies in your head
No point in pretending, there is no escape
Take control, learn from it, a beast there to tame
Is there any point in placing the blame
When we all suffer the same?

It will always be a part of us
Don't pretend that it doesn't exist
It forms a part of every single cell
A scavenger inside of you dwells

It will always be a part of us
Don't pretend that it doesn't exist
It forms a part of every single cell
A scavenger inside of you dwells
