The Memorious

[01:28.58] I see the turquoise lake spread out flat between the desert hills
[01:34.93] I feel the sun penetrate my skin
[01:41.12] I feel it melt the marrow in my bones
[01:47.54] I hear the engines grinding, relentless
[01:53.90] Crushing stone, crushing stone
[02:05.18] Giant steel insect arms rise up in clouds of rust
[02:11.87] Then they pivot and they groan as they violate and they thrust
[02:23.42] Down we ride into the pit
[02:27.23] First we're swallowed, then we're folded into it
[02:35.82] Inside our gouged mouth new home is a liquid that is velvet, black and slick
[02:52.21] It slides down our throats and it fills up our lungs
[02:59.59] Feeding young minds with thickened oil and blackened scum
[03:13.01] Clawing blind, pounding rock, killing light with grit and grime
[03:24.63] Breaking hands, marking time, sucking dust, oh, sucking dust
[03:39.47] Sweating copper tears that are sent up in buckets to the crust
[03:52.45] But way, way, way up high
[03:59.22] There's a square hole that opens out to the sky
[04:05.12] Exhaling hollow thoughts that, like sparrows, now fly
[04:12.98] Scattering tiny shadows over continents of pale and hardened mud
[04:22.29] Following a clear and singing thread
[04:27.90] That leads us backwards to a home that never really was
[04:46.31]
[05:05.33] Deep in the guts of the earth, we work, we work
[05:11.76] Deep in the heart of the hurt, we work, we work
[05:17.96] Shoveling red powder and dirt, we work, we work
[05:24.49] Digging a hole that leads to our birth, we work, we work
[05:30.62] We were, we were, we were, we were
[05:36.78] We are, we were, we are, we were
[05:43.41]
[05:55.78] Because my eyes are made of glass
[06:02.26] I drink the sand to sift the past
[06:08.33] The shifting tides have come to rest
[06:14.73] In shallow pools inside my chest
[06:21.04] I am the man who drags his chains
[06:27.27] Along the road that navigates
[06:33.75] The shit, the slop, the butter and fat
[06:40.09] My map is carved into my back
[06:46.48] Reality is blazing bright
[06:52.73] Beneath the sky, all creatures rise
[06:59.06] With arms entwined, the livings, the dead
[07:05.30] In matter, in mind, simultaneous
[07:11.77] I praised your lips, I praised your skin
[07:18.38] Our future stops where time begins
[07:24.31] I remember, we were, we were
[07:30.97] Gone forever, we were, we were
[07:37.00] But remember, we were, we were
[07:43.45] Gone forever, but we were, we were
[07:49.94] We were, we were, we were, we were
[07:56.45] We are, we were, we are, we were
[08:02.67] We are, we were, we are, we were
[08:08.57] We are, we were, we are, we were
[08:14.84]
