Acacia Strain, The - Walled City Lyrics






Blinded by the swirling dust
Fade into twilight from dusk
Burnt by the desert sun
I don't remember anyone

Delusion puts my mind at ease
I can barely see or breathe
Looking up to the sky
I feel so lonely I could die

This sand will be my grave
Picked apart before I am saved
The vultures circle overhead
Don't cry for me, I'm already dead

The wilted waste around me
My heart starts beating slowly
Each breath feels like my last
No future, only past

I cannot move, I cannot think
The world moves on around me
Nothing but blue skies above
As my lungs begin to combust

This sand will be my grave
Picked apart before I am saved
The vultures circle overhead
Don't cry for me, I'm already dead

I put the swine before the pearls
A dying man in a dying world
I see the circling crows
They all know what no one else knows
Barely conscious, barely alive
I relinquish my right, my will to survive
As my lungs fill with heat and sand
I reach out to grab your hand
Mirage in life and dream in death
After this there is nothing left

    "I put the swine before the pearls"
    The Acacia strain literally just said fuck bitches get money.
    This is now my second favorite lyric from this band next to-
    "All you were was a big butt and a smile"

  8. R.... ....

    For me the most powerful/well said lyrics in this song are "I see the circling crows/they all know what no one else knows". Creepy. I had this happen to me once, I laid on the ground and fell asleep on a hiking trail...woke up there were about 10 big ravens flying in circles above me. I thought to myself "do they know something I don't?" Unsettling.

    R.... ....

    R.... ....

    RoadkillAnonymous had a similar incident a hawk was tracking me and I was really high! I went under a tree thinking he'd swoop and take my heart lol. Woke up sober and hour n half later. He was gone. Animals hide in their silence what us humans seek in vain.
