All  Structures  Are  Unstable  -  Every  Time  I  Die

All  of  a  sudden  you're  dead

The  ground  cracks  and  takes  you  in

You've  no  time  to  be  born  again

There  was  nothing  where  something  had  been

But  every  grave  that  blooms  is  anchored  in  miles  of  roots

In  the  seed  is  the  tree

In  the  flesh  is  the  feast

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

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  end  and  every  cause  is  after  effect

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

There's  too  much  in  poison

in  our  glass  to  make  a  toast  to  our  health

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

The  past  is  clearer  than  it's  ever  been

Our  mistakes  made  ourselves

Blood  rushes  out  of  our  phantom  limbs

We  take  on  the  water  we're  floating  in

But  I'll  never  be  clean
