|
Last night I watched the moon drink the tides |
|
'Til a whale rose from the hole in the sea |
|
She breathed in the clouds like an opium ride |
|
Smiled, and devoured me |
|
My flesh had melted when my mind awoke |
|
To feel her tail tear open the sky |
|
Fins punctured cities, bled sulfur and smoke |
|
I wept as the last scream died |
|
She spat my soul onto a planet of dust |
|
My thoughts dissolved into the grain |
|
Whale became woman, the sun gazed with lust |
|
He took her, and fathered the rain |
|
From this coupling my shell grew green |
|
Rainforests sprung from my skin and soil |
|
Mountains spawned cells, apes, and all in between |
|
And I understood |
|
I am this mortal coil |
|
I am this mortal coil |
