lyrics

Feel the air in your lungs
Feel the two become one
Here in the middle
Where earth meets the sun

Touch the flame to our lips
Touch so we never forget it
A mix up of minerals
But one who is loved

So what if we don’t want to be
Stuck in a human machine
Under the cover
Of light from above

We cut a sign into our skin
But there’s a darker sigil deeper in
So now you drink up slow behind our backs
And mutter incantations from our past

A faded book primeval grimoire in citation
Ancient language, modern incarnation
Is it just another imitation?
Is it here the new transfiguration?

I’m not gonna eat the medicine
Cuz I don’t want eternal life in prison
I’m not gonna go to bed with him
Cuz we can overcome the cataclysm

No one does it like my mama does it
No one does it like my daddy does it
No one does it like my mama does it
No one does it like my daddy does it
