Every Time I Die - All Structures Are Unstable lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

All of a sudden you're dead

The ground cracks and takes you in

You've no time to be born again

And there was nothing where something had been

But every grave that blooms is anchored in miles of roots

In the seed and the tree, in the flesh and the feast

(Chorus)

There were worms in the hearts that you hoard

They devour their way to the soul

And the world is weakened from within

A hole opens up and you're dead

(Verse)

When I was pregnant, I burned a witch alive

At a hundred and one years old I gave birth to a cloud of smoke

We are part of a great machine that inefficiently cycles grief

In the beginning it puts the end and every cause is after effect

(Chorus)

There were worms in the hearts that you hoard

They devour their way to the soul

And the world is weakened from within

A hole opens up and you're dead

(Verse)

There's too much poison in our glass to make a toast to our health

The cave that I built, a kingdom won't, won't carry my weight

The past is clearer than it's ever been our mistakes made our selves

Blood rushes out of our phantom limbs

We take on the water, we're floating in but I beg for between(?)
