Roots

from Bellerophon by That's Five!

lyrics

Pour the dirt and sign all the papers
I'm six feet down and that's fine
just make sure to cross all the Ts
and don't you dare miss those Is
as long as this box is tight
no need for this suit no need for no offerings
i'm good with the air and my form
don't have to visit i won't even know it
i'll have plenty friends with the worms
although they make me squirm

This box is nice
who needs to be alive

it's alright i'm still growing
my hair and fingernails still have life
it's just as common as birthing or breathing
my replacement will do alright
this isn't much of a plight

this box is nice
who needs to be alive
though these roots are rotting through my thoughts
and decaying my mind
barreling through my skull tissue
and coming out my eyes

there's roots in my eyes

for the sake of my brother
don't dig up another
i don't think i'll resist the fight
the ground is so cozy
and it's all that's left for me
i want it all to be mine

these roots are all mine

this box is nice
who needs to be alive
a million years
and i'll disappear
though these roots are rotting through my thoughts
and decaying my mind
barreling through my skull tissue
and coming out my eyes
