Lyrics:
all those holes in your head that let you out 
all those limbs that branch out and walk around 
all the air flowing through your teeth and mouth 
blood burrows through your heart as it pounds and pounds 

but how do you know where your body ends when you’re up to your neck in the softest sand 
how do you know it’s not what you’ve conceived when your eyes are made to see the seeds your mind will plant to furnish your beliefs 

does that seed in your head keep you awake 
or your broken arms all that dead weight 
today your skin is hot and it loves to shout 
but it’s locked it will never let you out 

the skin from my hands will collapse and feed the sand the golden earth the emerald grass will be my second birth 
the blood from my veins will pour out and create stains across the ground bending air into a joyous sound 

all our sand will separate and fill up all the empty space 
all our blood will evaporate and mend all of the cracks we’ve made

Eyes, Ears, Mouth, And Nose
