Lyrics

Buried in teeth Buried in teeth Buried in teeth Can't tell if I've got black roots or braids Growing out of my head Grandfather's eating our grains Buried in teeth Buried in teeth Buried in teeth Can't tell if I've got rivers or veins Running under my skin Flowing out over the plains There's trapped antennas All tangled up with these brains And the spin of cocoons whispers your names While the crash of molars, it sifts us downward Down past the roll of ancient thunder Down past the delicate bones of bird wings Those that never took the flight of morning Down past the fossiled ferns and antlers A pack of ghost wolves are going to bring you under And down past the stomachs filled with berries Swallowed down into the gut of centuries Where we'll petrify Strong-willed, feeble, amber-eyed There we'll petrify Strong-lunged, weary, amber-eyed Strong-winged, teary, amber-eyed Amber-eyed Buried in arms Buried in arms Buried in arms Can't tell if it's your elbows or twine All wrapped around my waist A tangled mess divine Buried in arms Buried in arms Buried in arms Can't tell whose triggers are whose So we'll pull every one Firing diamonds at boots The crash of molars, it sifts us downward Down past the roll of ancient thunder Down past the delicate bones of bird wings Those that never took the flight of morning Down past the fossiled ferns and antlers A pack of ghost wolves are going to bring you under And down past the stomachs filled with berries Swallowed down into the gut of centuries Where we'll petrify Strong-willed, feeble, amber-eyed There we'll petrify Strong-lunged, weary, amber-eyed Strong-winged, teary, amber-eyed Amber-eyed Buried in arms Buried in teeth Buried in teeth Buried in arms Buried in teeth Can't tell if those are black holes I spy Staring down at us Sucking starlight through our eyes Buried in arms Buried in teeth Buried in teeth Buried in arms Buried in arms Buried in teeth Buried in teeth Buried in arms Buried in teeth Can't tell if we're being eaten alive
