it wouldnt 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 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 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  i remember every word stumbling out of that mouth i had to witness the last fumes the last fumes that your lungs soak up if we let you loose what would you do with your hands we tied you up because if you had the chance youd slaughter every one of us would you let us live 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 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 dream within a dream when it ends we turn to dust when we rest the world we seek is within you and me its held like a thought and we traveled this far dont let it go to waste find a way to leave this place its held like a thought and we traveled this far dont let it go to waste find a way to leave this place
