The Beautiful Ones

[Intro] [Verse 1] We build a feast for them all Soft nests, warm grain, no fear Every corner free Every day the same But doors stayed shut The sky stays quiet above No hunger to chase No need to run [Pre-Chorus] At first they bloomed Round and glossy with peace peace turns to rot When nothing has teeth [Chorus] The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones Eating and sleeping alone The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones Growing too soft to roam Paradise fed them honey we built their tomb under gold The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones Dying inside all alone ... [Verse 2] They washed their fur all day Paced out time in a trance No scraps to fight for No reason to dance... The young stayed still The old forgot the way Nests filled up slow With bodies that would decay [Pre-Chorus] No sharp edges left No struggle, or driving flame Just endless plenty And nothing changed [Chorus] The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones Eating and sleeping alone The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones Growing too soft to roam Paradise fed them honey we built their tomb under gold The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones Dying inside all alone ... [Bridge] A kingdom of bliss always a cage in disguise Give them no where to ascend And they forget how to rise Give them no work And they lose the will to make A perfect little world Becomes the grave we made [Final Chorus] The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones Eating and sleeping alone The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones Growing too soft to roam Paradise fed them honey we doomed them under gold... The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones Dying inside all alone...
