Song Lyrics

I live in the flat next door
And I can hear you f*ck your girlfriend through the wall
But the only thing we share
Is the slightest nod as we're passing down the stairs

But behind the closing doors
The bees were buzzing
Inciting me to war
The plan [?] may be
But it's really not your fault you failed to see

We eat darkness
We eat darkness

I take out the trash at night
And on Thursday's I go shopping for supplies
I walk my son to school
And I seem to have the same problems as you

But what you will see
I was [?] someone I wanted you to believe
And all that you hold dear
Is under threat from someone all too near

We eat darkness
We eat darkness

Then you lost control
And your kids became confused
Among the powder kegs
With nothing left to lose
So now your chickens
Are coming home to roost

Do you think the bite is real?
Do you feel my teeth they're snapping at your heals?
Do tell me how to live
Then you feed me with your poison till I'm sick

Pretend that we're not here
If you look the other way we disappear
We want you to ignore
The people who eat darkness from next door

We eat darkness
We eat darkness
We eat darkness
We eat darkness

Then you lost control
And your kids became confused
Among the powder kegs
With nothing left to lose
So now your chickens
Are coming home to roost
