lyrics

Buried in summer bugs, snow, and bird skeletons
Left poison in the sky to remember us by
Cause earth will outgrow us then
To let the quiet the quiet in

All cracked and concussed, free from our pestilence
These ruins of rust towering into dust

Giant please lay and rest
For new life in your hollow chest
To find all our fossils here
Erase how we disappeared
Cause we could not satisfy
A few bloated parasites

With this punctured, concussed host body drained of blood
In these ruins of rust grind it all into dust

Birds are omens you know
Seasons die when they go
An old rotting gasping haunt
Still breathes through each marching bent cross
When we're drowning in their flood
Make them choke on our blood

Bright red poison spilling from each of us
In these oceans of rust spinning ground into dust
