Oh God, can you feel the sun in your back?
|
Oh God, can you see your shadow, inky black on the sand?
|
Oh God, can you hear the saltwater drying on your skin?
|
Oh God, can you feel my heart beating in my tongue?
|
|
Oh God, by being quiet, I hope to alleviate my death
|
Oh God, by sitting still, I hope to lighten your load
|
When your shadow covers me from head to toe
|
Curtain every flies, tell me it's mine, my time to go
|
|
Seven waves of insects make babies in, in my skin
|
Seven waves of insects make families in my skin
|
(It's just like animals) It's just like animals that play
|
And the flesh...flesh...flesh...rotted off my skull
|
And then I will have earned my permanent, my permanent smile
|
|
Oh God, I never, never asked why
|
Oh God, I never, never asked why
|
