lyrics

PART I

“Hey you can't bring that thing in here!”
But I have an exception, dear
I can’t get by in this world alone
Without a friend to rip flesh from bone

I think he’s cute, he inspires dread
The people he eats are already dead
Missed connections with hollow men
Viral dinner parties, empty pens
The lifeless cries of cancel culture

My emotional support vulture
My emotional support vulture

Emotional support vulture
Pecking at my eyes
Emotional support vulture
Must be dead inside
Emotional support vulture
Beady eyes and leather skin
Emotional support vulture
Save me from my sin
Oooooh Let’s win!

There are lots of things you can’t take on planes
Airport insecurity gone insane
We all need some creature comfort
My carrion carry-on little buzzard
When the plane goes down, you’ll kick and scream
I’ll be safe in my desperate dreams
Of a genuine pterodactyl descendent
Murderalizing the flight attendant

My emotional support vulture
My emotional support vulture

Emotional support vulture
Pecking at my eyes
Emotional support vulture
Must be dead inside
Emotional support vulture
Beady eyes and leather skin
Emotional support vulture
Save me from my sin
Oooooh Let’s win!

PART II

Black helicopters are flying over the City of Smoke tonight!
And I just want to lie down with you
And gaze up upon the fiery skies,
And die, along with everything we knew

I hear the dull ripple of waters
I hear the song of flying birds
I hear the whole twittering world
Hum at rosy-fingered dawn

space is sown with stars
And silence scrapes your ears
The cool kiss of the night
it's yours, it's yours, it's yours

Sometimes I get to thinking
And I start to look around
And then the truth can sink in:
What I have killed will never be found

The cremation of care
Immolation of hope
A sacrificial dance (a sacrifice)
To the end of our rope (hung up to dry)
When the poison is the cure
And we haven't got a prayer
That's when I give in
To the cremation of care

I love the fruits of nature
But I don’t worship it
I don’t sacrifice things to it
I don’t bow down to it

I shake off the sorrows of the city’s dust
I laugh at lust for power, and shun powerful lust
The right wing and left wing belong to one bird
A vulture who sings a terrible word

I rise from the ashes
With my oily hair
And light the flame of
The corpse of care

The cremation of care
Immolation of hope
A sacrificial dance (a sacrifice)
To the end of our rope (hung up to dry)
When the poison is the cure
And we haven't got a prayer
That's when I give in
To the cremation of care

PART III

It’s not a metaphor for death and doom
It’s not a vision of tormented ruin
Yes I know my vulture’s worth
he demands a complete rebirth
And if you see my vulture in a dream
You need to know he’s very clean
But if you don’t support my animal’s rights
Prepare to die by a predator’s bite!

My emotional support vulture
My emotional support vulture

Emotional support vulture
Pecking at my eyes
Emotional support vulture
Must be dead inside
Emotional support vulture
Beady eyes and leather skin
Emotional support vulture
Save me from my sin
Oooooh Let’s win!
