With all my desperate symmetry With all my white lights and straight lines My skin will still sag at the end of my life d**h pirouettes through the flicker of the wick And makes you sick Once interred in turn to turn to bone Ribs like a house to the lord Once interred in turn to turn to bone Bugs come to worship in hordes Once interred in turn to turn to bone Fate unseen, kiss the stone You hope that where you are that you're not alone
Then I awoke To coil and shiver Like eel out of river Like the grave was my own Oh, frailty What worse fates could you possibly show me Once interred in turn to turn to bone Ribs like a house to the lord Once interred in turn to turn to bone Bugs come to worship in hordes Oh, frailty What worse fates could you possibly show me What worse fates could you possibly show me
