lyrics

we like to speculate about the things that people say;
the sights, the sounds, the aftermath of watching our planet crash.

i tried to state the facts, but the fact was my fathers ate your scraps.
they’ll take your table scraps, rip you to shreds, and take the shirt off your back.

i like to speculate.

you never mattered. they bought and sold.
your skin’s the silver they want, and your heart’s the gold.

we like to speculate about the things that people say;
the sights, the sounds, the aftermath - it’s all bad.
we like to ruminate, to stake out our neighbors and make them our prey,
and i’m tired, i’m hungry, and i’m falling into all of these things.

you’ve gotta get ready for this one.

we’re coming up on the real sludge summit;
i’ve never looked back since i came back from it.

you’re a kind cannibal taking bites out of my arm, and i’ll be alright.
my hands will tremble, everyday i’m fed though, and this hollow skin is a lie anyway.

you’re a kind cannibal and your flesh is falling off for the earth to engulf.
and when your bones hide again, underneath your new skin,
you’ll be as beautiful as you always were.

just as beautiful as the dirt.
