Lyrics

Vultures (everybody's everything) ©RobertM

I’m the man you’ve located
By slight of sleight of hand, deceit and persuasion
Thinking after it feels like a set up
Your tears and laughter the spiritual get up

Looking in your eyes convincing me
To step into this den of thieves
Where they blind the mind’s eye
To steal the soul
But I’m not so blind to see that

Through to the flesh you cast your vulture’s stare
In this desert so wide
You’re looking for everybody’s everything
Got more than a reckoning
So vultures take your circles higher
I’m not anybody’s anything

Think I see the charading
Lambs to slaughter, fascists parading
You cannot break a soul that’s willing
To see the game and what your selling

Pitied man whose pact went undelivered
You’ve undermined whatever we shared
So don’t tell me your intentions good
Devouring spirits is all you do

Through to the flesh you cast your vulture’s stare
In this desert so wide
You’re looking for everybody’s everything
Got more than a reckoning
So vultures take your circles higher
I’m not anybody’s anything
Everybody’s everything
Anybody’s anything
