Words
Lyrics
You dig in places till your fingers bleed
Spread the infection where you spill your seed
I can't remember what she came here for
I can't remember much of anything anymore
She's gone
She's gone
She's gone away
A little mouth opened up inside
Yeah, I was watching on the day she died
We keep licking while the skin turns black
Cut along the length (but you can't get the feeling back)
She's gone
She's gone
She's gone away
Are you still here?
you dig in places til your fingers bleed
she spreads herself wide open to let the insects in
spread the infection where you spill your seed
she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
i can't remember what she came here for
i can't remember much of anything anymore
