Amplexus - The Handbook For The Recently Deceased Lyrics
I swear I felt the earth moveDo we still exist?My hands are gray and foreignThe sand beasts have a violent glareWe are just smoke and mirrorsOur substance beneath the dust in our wedding's finestWe die and they liveI swear you cast a lovely shade on my eyesIt's all in my head, we didn't survive?We die and watch them liveFor one hundred twenty-five yearsWe find a way to live for one hundred twenty-five yearsThis is so surrealA soul dispossession and we've been evictedThe life we were building it no longer standsWe'll haunt with a vengeance.Persist through the ages.We just want our home back. why won't you go?Will we be together? I think not. but hold my hand.Gazing into the starlight we know frightLet's watch them squirm...Has it ever occurred to you that there are things that can never be taught?And it's not that they're faster or stronger, they're just born with a little extraWhen our time is over, we'll go hand in hand.I swear you cast a lovely shade on my eyesIt's all in my head. we didn't survive?We die and watch them liveFor one hundred twenty-five yearsWe find a way to live for one hundred twenty-five yearsThis is so surrealA soul dispossession and we've been evictedThe life we were building it no longer standsWe'll haunt with a vengeance.Persist through the ages.We just want our home back. why won't you go?You're so beautiful as you waste away.As we stand here with deathI will never forgetSo grind the chalk against the wallAnd venture down the sideways hall.We die and watch them liveFor one hundred twenty-five yearsI will never forget
