[Verse: Jason Weiche]

It wouldn’t leave me like it left them

Wait by the river

I'll bring her tethered

I want you to survive

Bone crushing bone

The roots exposed

Hot on the season

Sweat off this fever

I want you to survive


[Verse: Jason Weiche]

She said, “The Earth will provide

As long as you feel its grasp

Oh, nothing is had with promise of more.”

Let's do it before she asks

Because the question won't be in words


[Verse: Jason Weiche]

Well then, let's tie her up

Make this quick

Here, grab hold and I will fix the stitch

I kept stabbing at your chest

Like diving in water

Your rib cage denied me

But I would dig harder


[Chorus: Jason Weiche]

I remember every word

Stumbling out of that mouth

I had to witness the last fumes

The last fumes that your lungs soak up


[Bridge: Jason Weiche]

If we let you loose what would you do with your hands?

We tied you up because if you had the chance

You’d slaughter every one of us

Would you let us live?


[Chorus: Jason Weiche]

I remember every word

Out of that mouth

I had to witness the last fumes

I remember every word

I had to witness the last fumes

Fumes your lungs soak up


[Verse: Jason Weiche]

Winding down the cosmic clock

We wither when we grow up

Winding down the cosmic clock

We start to bloom just before we rot

Winding down the cosmic clock

We wither when we grow up


[Verse: Jason Weiche]

Dream within a dream

When it ends

We turn to dust when we rest

The world we seek is within you and me

It’s held like a thought and we traveled this far

Don’t let it go to waste

Find a way to leave this place

It’s held like a thought and we traveled this far

Don’t let it go to waste

Find a way to leave this place
