Lyrics
the fruit is speechless
before our sorceries
the party has just begun.
timelapse and dancing and rotting in place.
and we have reached the high end of low
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
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
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
fallen fallen fallen from grace,
now for you
this is why you should run
fallen fallen fallen from grace,
now for you
this is why you should run
the light shines in the darkness
and the darkness will never understand it
the light shines in the darkness
and the darkness will never understand it
the light shines in the darkness
and the darkness will never understand it
the light shines in the darkness
and the darkness will never understand it
you can take me
the grave can take me
the earth is waiting to eat us alive
like you damaged i need human wreckage
have to look just to see hell
you can take me
the grave can take me
the earth is waiting to eat us alive
like you damaged i need human wreckage
I have to look just to see hell
