Raider II - Steven Wilson

A fist will make you understand intention

To raise alarm is underhand, so I cut off the phone

I bind you up with tape and catch some TV

It’s getting late, the shadows in the street are watching us

Check for fibres in the gaps between the teeth, the floorboards

Check the fingerprints, go through the trash

Maybe I just wanted some attention

Compulsion seeks its own way in rejection of the light

Every story needs to have an ending

We might as well give up all this pretending and clear the air

The night is crawling closer to the action

Your mouth is driving me into distraction, you talk too much

Well every story needs to have an ending

We might as well give up all this pretending and clear the air

A plague inside your home, I’m raider

Defiling all you own, raider

A cat among the crows, I’m raider

The butcher and his prose, I’m raider
