    The fruit is speechless

    before our sorceries
     (...) dancing and rotting in placid

     the party has just begun.

    Time-lapse and dancing and rotting in place,
     High end of low

     and we have reached the high end of low
     High end of low
+
     The high end of low
     You can take me, they can take me

     Earth is waiting to eat us alive

     You can take me
     I've been damaged, beaten and wreckaged

    The grave can take me
     I have to look up (...)

Lyrics

    The fruit is speechless
    before our sorceries
    the party has just begun.
    Time-lapse and dancing and rotting in place,
    and we have reached the high end of low
    The high end of low
    
    You can take me
    The grave can take me
    The earth is waiting to eat us alive
    I love you damaged
    I need human wreckage
    I Have to Look Up
    Just to See Hell
    Fallen, fallen, fallen from grace
    now for you
    this is why you should run
    The core of a woman
    is where her body
    chooses to revolve like a corpse.
    centrifugal, melted under the skin,
    bacteria...
    into the napalm heart i explode,
    I explode
    You can take me
    The grave can take me
    the earth is waiting to eat us alive
    I love you damaged
    I need human wreckage
    I have to look up just to see hell
    the light shines in the darkness
    and the darkness will never understand it.
