about

A love song, of sorts, about the disjointed dance between humanity and the planet that hosts us.

lyrics

The sky
The sky is killing me tonight
The air is slowly tearing at my insides
We waltz gracelessly together
Til the winds rise up and blow me to the ground

Now call me crazy, but I don't think we're quite cut out
To go on lazily spinning around and around
Pointless pioneering in a pinhole of the galaxy
It seems that death may be our destiny
We're gonna spin for the thrill and we'll dance to kill
Dance to kill

The ocean
The ocean is bashing in my brains
The running waters are kicking my teeth in
We waltz gracelessly together
Til the tides come up and drag me down

Living saprobically, born only to feed
Spin me to sleep
Nourishing, I keep suckling endlessly
You're a host to me
Just keep spinning, this dance is brief
Hold me close as I drag my feet
If I fall, you're coming down with me
We'll spin for the thrill and we'll dance to kill
Dance to kill

From the moon to the deepest roots, transient sparks in the dark
Turning, yearning to be returning soon, this dance will fall apart
Collapsing gracelessly together, until the sun comes up
To burn it all down, return me to the ground

Eyes transfixed, mouth agape
The Mangata holds a bowling ball grip tight to my face
Sinking closer still, with each exhale, I haven't a clue
Just lost in your stark deep blues
But if you kill me, I will kill you too

Clung so tight to you
I pierce your skin and watch the hot death as it spews
I'm all consumed, and buried into you
But if you kill me, I will kill you too
If you kill me, I will kill you
