Rhinosaur

Soundgarden · 5 Classic Albums [2012]

Standing with my enemies

Hung on my horns

with haste and reverie

killing with charm



only happy when you hurt

only deadly in a swarm

only healthy in the dirt

only empty in your arms



I play,I'm sick and tame

drawing the hordes

I wait,and show the lame

the meaning of harm

the skulls beneath my feet

like feathers in sand

I graze among the graves

a feeling of peace



only bending when you break

only feeding when you're cold

only healing when you ache

only feeling when you don't
