lyrics

Death doesn't take you.
It welcomes you in.
Brings you to her place
Licks your skin
And bends your spine.
It gives your spots on your neck.
She makes you breakfast in the ground
Serves you coffee with a spoon
To help you dig yourself out
She keeps you awake
When your sheets aren't cold
And you're just as alive
As you wanna be.
Just as alive
As you wanna be

Does the hammer work all alone?
Does it build a house
That I'm tearing down?
Did someone help
The fragile eight year old
Become so fucking scared of the dark at night?

A chain doesn't slide
To lock the doors at night.
It helps you sleep on a pillow
The one you'd use to shield a fight.
The one you'd use to take his life.
Smothering, he sleeps too loud.
This is marriage and disconnection
The daisy chain is gone
Along with affection.

Does the hammer work all alone?
Does it build a house
That I'm tearing down?
Did someone help
The fragile eight year old
Become so fucking scared of the dark at night?
We are chipping away
At a home made of stones
Switching blood to our marrow
That makes up our bones.
Does the hammer work all alone
To drive in all the nails
To keep everything we own?
