Undertow

[Verse 1]

It took so long to remember just what happened

I was so young and vestal then

You know it hurt me

But I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive

Even if signs seem to tell me otherwise

Got my hands bound

And my head down and my eyes closed

My throat's wide open

[Refrain]

Do unto others what has been done to me

Do unto others what has been done to you

[Verse 2]

I'm treading water

I need to sleep a while

My lamb and martyr, you look so precious

Won't you, won't you come on a bit closer?

Close enough so I can smell you

I need you to feel this

I can't stand to burn too long

Release in sodomy

For one sweet moment I am whole

[Refrain]

Do unto you now what has been done to me

Do unto you now what has been done

[Verse 3]

You're breathing so I guess you're still alive

Even if signs seem to tell me otherwise

Won't you, won't you come on a bit closer?

Close enough so I can smell you

I need you to feel this

I need this to make me whole

Release in sodomy

Have you witnessed that blood and flesh can't be trusted?

Have you witnessed that blood and flesh can't be trusted?

And only this one holy medium brings me peace of mind

[Verse 4]

Got your hands bound

And your head down

And your eyes closed

You look so precious now

[Bridge]

I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this

Shit, blood, and cum on my hands

I've come 'round full circle

[Outro]

My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon

You look so precious, you look so precious

You look so precious, you look so precious

You look so precious now

You look so precious

[Verse 1]

Two times in

I've been struck dumb by a voice that

Speaks from deep beneath peerless water that's

Twice as clear as heaven

Twice as loud as reason

Deep and rich like silt on a riverbed

Just as never ending

Current's mouth below me

Opens up around me

Suggests and beckons all while swallowing

Surrounds and drowns and wipes me away

But I'm so comfortable, so comfortable

[Chorus]

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

You're saturating me

How could I let this bring me

Back to my knees?

[Verse 2]

Third time in

I've been baptized by your voice that

Screams from deep beneath the cold black water that's

Half as high as heaven

Half as clear as reason

Cold and black like silt on the riverbed

Just as never ending

Current's mouth below me

Opens up around me

Suggests and beckons all while swallowing

Surrounds and drowns and wipes me away

But I'm so comfortable, so comfortable

[Chorus]

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

You're saturating me

How could I let this happen?

Why don't you kill me?

I am weak and numb and insignificant

How could I let this bring me

Back to my knees?

[Bridge]

Euphoria

Euphoria

Euphoria

Euphoria

[Outro]

I'm back down, I'm in the undertow

I'm helpless and I'm awake, I'm in the undertow

I'll die beneath the undertow

There doesn't seem no other way out of the undertow

Euphoria

[Intro]

Get up, get up now

Get up, get up now

Get up, get up now

Get up, get up now

And free yourself from yourself

Free yourself from yourself

[Verse 1]

Locked up inside you

Like the calm beneath castles

Is a cavern of treasures that

No one has been to

Let's go digging

Let's go digging

Bring it out and then take it back in

[Chorus]

You won't do what you'd like to do

Lay back and let me show you another way

I'll kill what you want me to

Take what's left and eat it

Take all or nothing

Just too short to push it away

Take it all

Take it all in

[Post-Chorus]

All the way in

All the way in

Let it go

Let it go in

[Chorus]

You won't feel what you'd like to feel

Lay back and let me show you another way

I'll kill what you want me to

Take what's left and eat it

Take all or nothing

Just too short to lap it up

[Verse 3]

If you knock me down

I'll just come back running

Knock you down

It won't be long now

All the way in

All the way in

All the way in

All the way in

[Chorus]

Kill what you want me to

Take what's left and eat it

Take all or nothing

Just too short to push it away

[Bridge]

Take it up

Take it up higher

Four degrees now

Four degrees warmer

Give in now

Give in now

And let me in

You'll like this

This brings us out

You'll like this

It brings us closer than dying and

Cancer and crying, this

Take it, take it

You can take it all

Take it, take it

Come on, you can take it all

Take it all in

Take it, you can take it all in

Take it, you can take it, you can take it

Take it, you can take it, you can take it

Take it, you can take it

Take it, take it

Take it, take it, take it

[Chorus]

Kill what you want me to

Take what's left and eat it

Take all or nothing

Just too short to reach it

[Outro]

Just like that

Just like that

Just like

[Spoken Intro]

And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber, and took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. And he brought me into a vast farmland of our own Midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay, a million voices full of fear. And terror possessed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?"

And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots. The cries of the carrots. You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust". And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!" Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you, Jesus

Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on

This is necessary

Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on

This is necessary

Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on

This is necessary

This is necessary

Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life

[Spoken Outro]

It was daylight when you woke up in your ditch. You looked up at your sky. Then, that made blue be your color. You had your knife there with you too. When you stood up there was goo all over your clothes. Your hands were sticky. You wiped them on your grass, so now your color was green. Oh Lord, why did everything always have to keep changing like this? You were already getting nervous again. Your head hurt and it rang when you stood up. Your head was almost empty. It always hurt you when you woke up like this. You crawled up out of your ditch onto your gravel road and began to walk, waiting for the rest of your mind to come back to you. You can see the car parked far down the road and you walked toward it. "If God is our father," you thought, "then Satan must be our cousin." Why didn't anyone else understand these important things? You got to your car and tried all the doors. They were locked. It was a red car and it was new. There was an expensive leather camera case laying on the seat. Out across your field, you could see two tiny people walking by your woods. You began to walk towards them. Now red was your color, and of course, those little people out there were yours too
