[Verse]

With all my desperate symmetry

With all my white lights, and straight lines

My skin will still sag

At the end of my life

Death pirouettes through the flicker of the wick

And makes you sick

[Chorus 1]

Once interred, in turn to turn to bone

Ribs like a house to the lord

Once interred, in turn to turn to bone

Bugs come to worship in hordes

[Chorus 2]

Once interred, in turn to turn to bone

Fate unseen, kiss the stone

You hope that where you are

That you're not alone

[Bridge]

Then I awoke

To coil and shiver, like eel out of river

Like the grave was my own

Oh frailty

What worse fates could you possibly show me

[Chorus 1]

Once interred, in turn to turn to bone

Ribs like a house to the lord

Once interred, in turn to turn to bone

Bugs come to worship in hordes

[Outro]

Oh, frailty

What worse fates could you possibly show me

What worse fates could you possibly show me
