Just let go and come
The carnal need that lingers all the same
surely is our core
The aftershocks go on
The eruptions, the hailstorms, the hurricanes
swim before my eyes
Rushing
Rushing
Sighting the ghost of my old vices
A blowfly grazed the base of my neck
The color of a dead thing doused in crude oil
My blue-spot birthmarks haven’t gone away
Our undergrowths entangle together
The earth is searching for a seed
“Continue straight for 60 miles”
But we haven’t even got a wheel to spin
O wilderness, wilderness
Let the grass spread over the earth
O wilderness, wilderness
Let this seed take root
Just let go and come
The carnal need that lingers all the same
I reckon it’s our core
The aftershocks go on
The eruptions, the hailstorms, the hurricanes
surge into a thunder
Rumbling
Rumbling
Just let go and come
The carnal need that lingers all the same
surely is our core
Hear the aftershocks!
The eruptions, the hailstorms, the hurricanes
The voice of the waves
I wanna be able / to love someone / so hard that
I can’t make out left from right / Even without a noble reason
I just wanna brawl / Guess it’s my way of saying, Don’t talk down to me
Once our eyes adjust to the dark / Once we’ve made up our minds to fight
We’ll think of those partings / where we could only kick up the dust in our sorrow
We’ll hang onto that memory
