lyrics

Comfort
A purring sense that all is right and I am home
All is calm and I no longer feel alone
We'll romp around the climbing tree
Or play among the rocks and reeds
But in the end it’s always time to feed

Obligate carnivore
They're dripping blood
And ripping flesh
Protracted keratin slips to cut like knives
And leave me torn

Witness this
All the gore
Below bone down
To screaming death
Nature's heart is cruel and violent
And I don't want no part

But then we sleep
And all at once their innocence has been restored
And from beneath the roof of this old house
We share a blanket and weather out the storm
We are warm
And hungry

Obligate carnivore
They're dripping blood
And ripping flesh
Protracted keratin slips to cut like knives
And leave me torn

Witness this
All the gore
Below bone down
To screaming death
Nature's heart is cruel and violent
And I don't want no part

I will choose removal in everything I can
[Author's note: This line is NOT about declawing cats, and I stand strongly against that cruel practice]

Obligate carnivore
They're dripping blood
And ripping flesh
Protracted keratin slips to cut like knives
And leave me torn

Witness this
All the gore
Below bone down
To screaming death
Nature's heart is cruel and violent
And I don't want no part
