lyrics

I emerged from my silky casket
At the end of the show
Only to find, to my dismay
The crowd had all left hours ago

You are my last hunt
The taxidermied trophy I wanted selfishly buried with me
And in your vacant eyes
And the smell of formaldehyde
I believe that I’ve found something to believe

Still feels like a sin
To take your name in vain
But I’ll use this lacquered pine to feed the furnace
'Til the house goes up in flames

I needed you to fill the hole God made in me when he left
Not in my feet, or in my wrists, or in my side, or in my head
But somewhere six feet beneath the bruised pink apple of my flesh
I’m rotting from my core again

It’s bright out here, but for the first time in years, my eyes are open
I guess that’s why they call it a wake
But it don’t feel like a party no more, whether I am there or not
It just feels fake

Like a soundstage movie scene, the fading memory of a dream
But this decay has made me fruitful, and now I’ve gone to seed

I AM BIGGER THAN DEATH, BIGGER THAN GOD, WIDER THAN THE MISSISSIPPI
THE VINE THAT ATE THE MIDWEST WHOLE, SPREADING LIKE A DISEASE
BEAR WITNESS AS I GERMINATE AND GENERATE A NEW LOVE
CAN YOU DIG THE METEMPSYCHOSIS I AM CAPABLE OF?
