If you prick us, don't it sting? If you kick us, won't it hurt? I am wrapped in scraps of linen and pieces of people's old shirts But way way underneath all these sticky bands I hold all my dreams right here in my hands I will rise from the tomb Like an infant emerging from the womb I spent several thousand years down here all alone No way to stem the lonely old ache in my bones Say the spell three times, crank up the special effects I'm gonna cast off all my bandages and see what happens next I will rise fully formed Like an infant, freshly born I've been trapped too long underneath the ground In the hollow darkness, but ain't no grave gonna hold my body down I will push my hand up through the earth And I will rise like the cry of an infant at its birth
If it weren't for the timeline, I'd have sworn this was a offcut from Heretic Pride or All Eternals Deck, given how well it fits with the monstrosity of the first album and the melancholy showbiz angle of the second.
'melancholy showbiz' is the kind of brilliant yet mildly ineffable piece of phraseology my mind has forever yearned for without me knowing it has, thank you, stranger, so very much
If you prick us, don't it sting?
If you kick us, won't it hurt?
I am wrapped in scraps of linen and pieces of people's old shirts
But way way underneath all these sticky bands
I hold all my dreams right here in my hands
I will rise from the tomb
Like an infant emerging from the womb
I spent several thousand years down here all alone
No way to stem the lonely old ache in my bones
Say the spell three times, crank up the special effects
I'm gonna cast off all my bandages and see what happens next
I will rise fully formed
Like an infant, freshly born
I've been trapped too long underneath the ground
In the hollow darkness, but ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
I will push my hand up through the earth
And I will rise like the cry of an infant at its birth
This is another one of those goat tracks that took a few years to find me when I needed to hear it, but now i'm completely obsessed
I'm going to come out at work tomorrow. I'm sick of this shit.
How did it go?
This is a perfect transition song
