lyrics

Broken bones
Hairline fractures in your cranial dome
Trickling blood onto the paving stones
You were far from home
And you were all alone
Singing your last song of broken tones

Broken backs
Spinal fluid leaking through those cracks
Vision dimming as your heart attacks
Just a fade to black
Then your jaw goes slack
And when you die you're never coming back

What a shame to crack open your skull when it's so full of song
What a loss to have lived your whole life for these melodies now gone
But when they entered our skulls through our earholes we all sang along

Broken heart
Nested in a ribcage blown apart
Skylight brightening as your ghost departs
It looks back from afar
As your head lies ajar
Pouring out last thoughts like migrant stars

What a shame to crack open your skull when it's so full of song
What a loss to have lived your whole life for these melodies now gone
But when they entered our skulls through our earholes we all sang along

Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, dying...
