When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking
Though quaking, though crazy
That's just Wasteland, Baby!

I was housed by your warmth
But I was transformed
By your grounded and giving
And darkening scorn

Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword

Strap the wing to me
Death trap clad happily
With wax melted I'd meet the sea
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

True that I saw her hair like a branch of a tree
Willow dancing on air before covering me

I have never know peace like the damped grass that yields to me
I have never known hunger like these insects that feast on me
A thousand teeth and yours among them, I know
Our hungers appeased, our heartbeats becoming slow

I just think about my baby
I'm so full of love I could barely eat

If I was born as a blackthorn tree,
I'd wanna be felled by you, held by you
Fuel the pyre of your enemies

Sweet and right and merciful,
I'm all but washed in the tide of her breathing

When the man who gives the order
Is born next time around on the boat sent back
When the bodies starving at the border
Are on TV giving people the sack

But you don't what hell you put me through
To have someone kiss the skin that crawls from you

I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies,
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife

Jarring the judgement and reasons defeat
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive

I'd be appalled if I saw you ever try to be a saint
I wouldn't fall for someone I thought couldn't misbehave

When the stench of the sea and the absence of green
Are the death of all the things all seen and unseen
Are an end but the start of all things that are left to do
