lyrics

Snake through the sand, I wasn't foolish
I knew that you held all the power in your hand
Though not enough to save your tower
Not enough left for those you've devoured
But I, was the ringing in your ears
Haunting you when the lies fled your lips
And still you climb, and scale your tower
In your bliss, leaving those in your pit

Enlarged and swollen, my eyelids frozen
And I'd unfold them, but I don't mean to start a war
I missed the part where, where I'm the problem,
I'd like to solve them, but I can't take this anymore

So next time, you feel the need to release your
Rotten, acrimonious, hate
Surely it's never, never forgotten
Trapped inside webs spun from your concoctions
I, was the bitter on your breath
I was the stunned when choked down the rest
Consumed the rind and claimed it sour
Somehow blamed it on those you molest

Traded truth for a ticketed train
I did it all but it was all in vain
I remember, I remember the pain
The first time I was washed down the drain
I need your help not someone else's
But you still run away

(He said) I am the ghost and the giant
The sickest thing that you will ever see
Destroying those in defiance
The flood you're never meant to see
The rest are sinners or they're cowards
Let their families try and flee
I am the ghost and the giant
I am the one you can't see
