lyrics

Carpe Crematoria

dip me in your tallow
then seep into my bones
let me join the swallows
and nest amongst the stones

cause you were like an angel
to me a-way back when
we thought we'd found an idea
of how to find a friend

now i'm sleeping with the fishes
and talking a good talk
walked a thousand miles before
jack could climb the stalk

could open doors and gas-vents
pull this bottle from the cork?
could lime and soda circumvent
the oxygen from chalk?

outside where electrons vibrate
my love turned the neutrons to hate
and i got myself in a state
just bouncing off the walls
did you ever hear me bawling?
just bouncing off the walls
did you ever see me crawling on the
bouncing off the walls
did you ever see me crawling to the skyline?

bring on your best heartache
then pull on your best face
cause i just will not partake
in rattus' little race

and you were like a fortress
to me at five to six
and i was like a tortoise
deflecting stones and sticks

now i'm jacketed and booted
i tried to mind the gap
the corvid had been cooted
the magpie in a flap

will half-time substitutions
cause the coherence to snap
venn diagrams are so because
the circles overlap

outside where electrons vibrate
my love turned the neutrons to hate
and i got myself in a state
just bouncing off the walls
did you ever hear me bawling?
just bouncing off the walls
did you ever see me crawling on the
bouncing off the walls
did you ever see me crawling to the skyline?
