Scarabs filled my pillow
Tarmac strips to pave for them
Thrones from which to teach
And in that pulse the future said
The story had been spun
You wet your bed so sleep in it
Cards can't make a house
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
We'll be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
That's why I'll magnify a hole...
When lightyears came and lightyears passed
Tugging on the brink
Spoils reported missing
Put down in it's sleep
Strangled in the background
Fitted for a mask
The future won't believe you
Past the ransom fast
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
We'll be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
That's why I'll magnify a hole...
Don't beat around the pulpit
There is no lost and found
Where is the devil waiting
Trying to disguise
I've seen what you used to look like
But down here you won't survive
I've got the weight of half of the world
Don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake
I won't come home if you can't come home
Even if you make a grave with my name
I've got the weight of half of the world
You'd better keep on looking for me
I won't come home if you can't come home
Don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
We'll be lucky if we eat tonight
And up that hill go the last of my crumbs
That's when I'll magnify a hole...
(In your abdomen)
Find me the head
And I'll show you the body
Lay it to rest
Don't say you're sorry
When Sanskrit was my mother tongue Scarabs filled my pillow Tarmac strips to pave for them Thrones from which to teach And in that pulse the future said The story had been spun You wet your bed so sleep in it Cards can't make a house And up that hill go the last of my crumbs We'll be lucky if we eat tonight And up that hill go the last of my crumbs That's why I'll magnify a hole... When lightyears came and lightyears passed Tugging on the brink Spoils reported missing Put down in it's sleep Strangled in the background Fitted for a mask The future won't believe you Past the ransom fast And up that hill go the last of my crumbs We'll be lucky if we eat tonight And up that hill go the last of my crumbs That's why I'll magnify a hole... Don't beat around the pulpit There is no lost and found Where is the devil waiting Trying to disguise I've seen what you used to look like But down here you won't survive I've got the weight of half of the world Don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake I won't come home if you can't come home Even if you make a grave with my name I've got the weight of half of the world You'd better keep on looking for me I won't come home if you can't come home Don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake And up that hill go the last of my crumbs We'll be lucky if we eat tonight And up that hill go the last of my crumbs That's when I'll magnify a hole... (In your abdomen) Find me the head And I'll show you the body Lay it to rest Don't say you're sorry Explain Request ×
