lyrics

Existentialist Drought
I am full of myself
Like a worm on a page
No dirt left to dig
No place to rest your head

In and out
Of Consciousness
I hold onto
Nothing

Rapid Heartbeat
Held in two part harmony
Didn't know I had another side of sinking teeth.

I want to hold onto to the questions
That leave me in suspension
Causing hesitation
Addicted to the doubts
Of what is and what isn't
And I could stew in it all day
And say that I played
But what have I done?
But sucked my thumb

Rapid Heartbeat
Held in two part harmony
Didn't know I had another side of sinking teeth

And I'll break my bread with you
And I'll do all the wrong things too
But frozen in the abyss
Dose not aide
In giving you this kiss,
In giving you this kiss

Maybe the questions are too big
Or maybe I'm just too small
That's where I find
Find it all
Crumble into dust
Crumble into dust
Crumble into dust
Crumble into dust
Crumble into dust
