[Verse 1]
You've been making miles in my prison cell mind
You've been making miles in my prison cell mind
These are such small, small spaces to grow distant in
I don't take deep breaths like I used to
Thank Christ I'm not contagious
[Chorus]
You're gigantic to me
The way you bring me closer to death
You're gigantic to me
You're gigantic to me
Become wet in my mouth again
When the rotting is you
You're gigantic to me
I can't take the weight
What more can I do?
I'm clinging tight to your chest
Explode me like a suicide bomber
[Verse 2]
You've been making miles in my prison cell mind
You've been making miles in my prison cell mind
So un-ended, so transcendent
There's no expletive that could fucking express it
Like a nuclear force, a massacre
Babe, you're a cold-blooded slaughter
[Chorus]
You're gigantic to me
The way you bring me closer to death
You're gigantic to me
You're gigantic to me
Become wet in my mouth again
When the rotting is you
You're gigantic to me
I can't take the weight
What more can I do?
I'm clinging tight to your chest
Explode me like a suicide bomber
I'm clinging tight to your chest
Explode me like a suicide bomber
You're gigantic to me
The way you bring me closer to death
You're gigantic to me
You're gigantic to me
Become wet in my mouth again
When the rotting is you
You're gigantic to me
I can't take the weight
What more can I do?
I'm clinging tight to your chest
Explode me like a suicide bomber
I'm clinging tight to your chest
Explode me like a suicide bomber

I was thinking about the crazy shit that’s happening in the world today and about the people who are on the periphery of that – like someone’s parents.
