fall from grace

Lyrics

Christ's body has rotted
In a tomb of rich men
A secret loculus
Centipedes ate his tongue

One hundred crawling legs
Scrawling verses of war
Western demagogue 
Apostles’ legacy

A sad messiah
Tragic hero of pride
Early temptations felled
Now rule him ascended

Promised Kingdom of God
Apocalyptic wish
Fuel for furnaces
of the trains and death camps



Goodbye sunsests, fading fast
cool breeze, calm depths, crashing waves
heartache skipping, sunken pit
ashes scattered, fallen friend

I wish that I believed
You’re in a better place
Even if heaven were real
That just wouldn’t be the case...

Centipede Sunsets (Original Demo)

i will pull you in just like
a tidepool with its rhythmic cadence
regular, predictable
methodical in perfect place and

i will listen for your heart
and kiss you where it meets the skin
pierce my fragile teeth into the ribs

i carry shame like a heavyweight
title-reigning champ of self-debate
need love like lightning needs a storm
but i tend toward self-hate

i let desire fly right by
i watch with crooked eyes
i can't see straight

if i reach for you now,
tell me it's not too late to

COME CLOSER
TALK ABOUT ANYTHING
I JUST WANT TO
HEAR YOU SPEAK

IF YOU SAY YOU
WANT TO SEE ME
CRY, THEN I WILL
WEEP

i will pull you in just like
a tidepool under waxing crescent
audible, harmonious
mesmerizing, effervescent

i sink in heatwaves
hot blood pooling right under the crown
i yearn from ragged mouth, and
tell me, do you love that sound?

i carry shame like a heavyweight
leaden head, it wears the crown
wears me down to ashes
only god himself could spark me now

and will i seal-crawl my way out
face-up, breathe in from the gutter?
a kiss could mask my whispered shout
a puddle of runoff could find me smothered

COME CLOSER
TALK ABOUT ANYTHING
I JUST WANT TO
HEAR YOU SPEAK

IF YOU SAY YOU
WANT TO SEE ME
CRY, THEN I WILL

i will pull you in just like
a tidepool with its rhythmic cadence
dependable, predictable
methodical in perfect place and

i will listen for your heart
and kiss you where it meets the skin
pierce my fragile teeth into the ribs

COME CLOSER
TALK ABOUT ANYTHING
I JUST WANT TO
HEAR YOU SPEAK

IF YOU SAY YOU
WANT TO SEE ME
CRY, THEN I WILL

COME CLOSER
TALK ABOUT ANYTHING
I JUST WANT TO
HEAR YOU SPEAK

IF YOU SAY YOU
WANT TO SEE ME
CRY, THEN I WILL
WEEP
