[Verse 1]

My end and my essence

What when the light leaves my eyes?

What of me without my pain?

What does it mean to reanimate?

Can a painting exist without its paint?

[Verse 2]

Me and meanness

I go as long as I can before I submit

To the truth that I know

But won’t admit

Though I try I can’t escape

The allegory of a cave

[Chorus]

Will some book ever close?

And reach the last refrain

Where I wax and wane

Or remain the same;

Return to the ocean

Fan into flame

[Verse 2]

I may be

Just a bitch in heat

But I’ll spend my blood

On a baby not yet there

In hope I can conceive

[Chorus]

Will some book ever close?

And reach the last refrain

Where I wax and wane

Or remain the same

Return to the ocean

Fan into flame

[Bridge]

The wild thyme unseen

The opaque unease

If to be warmed I must freeze

In my end is my beginning

Reanimation’s the death of me

Not lost but requiring
