lyrics

never forget
remember?
that one time, that one slight, that precious bruise
roll up your sleeves in anger
take it out on the lawn

In a box
In the back
Iron rust rake slap
flinging seed
In the hope that they will grow
But for now their treasure is petrified
A dance of life in the mud

“This is the oil!”

Little fingerlings sprout and wait
Grow and grow
Circling

In the box old bones corrode
Locked up memories sacrificed until the day you set the new lies free
And only then will you tell your martyr’s tale and how you told yourself “believe”

Forget
Remember

One by one, as you feel through the mud
They reach out to touch you,
Their primordial creator

Smear the mud on your skin
Aroused
Arise, hairless...engorged

Cells divide
Expand
Explode
Coalesce

Time dilates
Constricts
Has no meaning

This is the oil

They're everywhere now
Around you
Inside you
Throbbing with your pulse

Millions!

Remember how everything you loved abandoned you
Remember how everyone you hated became you
Remember how your dreams dissolved as you burned out
Remember...so roll it up in a ball and swallow
