[Verse]
While gathering glitter your arms reach into heaven
They’re bending then breaking and cracked
Your mind is a lie and a lie is a line spinning in a spiral
Glowing in air that is thick and opaque and is black
(Flat dead black)
Uselessly screaming while chewing the ceiling
The mouth that is screaming is the mouth that is breathing red dust
(It’s in us, red dust)
Licking your fingers, your butter, your shadow
Your belly is pregnant with plaster and sawdust and lust
(Feeding us, in disgust)
Your eyes are reversing traversing red canyons
In the floor of an ocean swirling with sulfur, carbon and rust
[Bridge]
It’s in us
Lust: is in us
Lust: is disgust
[Instrumental Section]
[Chorus]
Red in mind
Red yellow moon
Yellow eye
Red yellow room
(Vocalizing)
Red sucking tongue
(Vocalizing)
The red will come
(Vocalizing)
Red sucking tongue
(Vocalizing)
The red will come
(Vocalizing)
The red will come
(Vocalizing)
The red will come
(Vocalizing)
The red will come
(Vocalizing)
