about

An exegesis of foreboding.

lyrics

I can't understand you
When your tongue is in your cheek
I think you've had to much to eat
I swear your stomach's sprung a leak
Are we alone?
Are we alone?

I can't understand you
When you're goading me along
You've got me breathing like a dog
We are gone oh we are we are
Are we alone?
Are we alone?

My stomach feels you breathing
When you dig me deep inside
You've got a second set of eyes
And you can see at night
You see me hypnotized
I'm hypnotized

My chest it feels you pushing
And my ribs won't do their job
But most my heart it feels you leeching
It cannot keep can't keep beat now
Oh my god
Oh my god

My throat oh it's a-panging
While you push for all you're worth
And I got fifty ways of saying
Oh my god oh god oh god
What have I birthed?
What have I birthed?
