Lyrics

As I open my eyes As I open my walls As I open my self I feel you pouring in As I swallow your lives As I swallow your hearts As I swallow your filth I feel you coming in I lay awake eternal, infanticidal, cold I'm growing, changing, dying this body hours old These slabs that make my substance These windows guide my view For every rotting stone I lose there are a hundred new As you come in to me As you bring to my need As you fill up my whole I feel your violence throb My mass is thick and sprawling I lick the higher clouds I root to penetrate the earth infinite dark and loud I store the seeds of killing I echo vaults of pain A witness to a million souls All action, deed, and blame As you drive to my wounds As you dampen my womb As you sleep in my tombs I feel your darkness dripping out If these walls could talk they'd bite right through the ears that listen in If the streets could bleed the buckets spilled across the century If these iron ribs could grind their concrete shell into the words Of sin and love and hate and fear I've heard their tiny souls would freeze As I open my eyes, as I open my walls As I open my self I feel you pouring in I kill the land and suck it dry I am an entity of man Built to serve, observe, and cry for all I am, and never die Hollow faults and hardened limbs Tongues of iron sucking in Home to every tear and fortress and reflection of all will I house the death and fucking, I cradle rape and care I'm part religion, brothel, factory of disrepair I'm everything to some and dream crusher to others still An object of desire to risking souls with holes to fill
