Soundaltar - The Dirt Lyrics

Live
Survive
Evolve
Stabilize
Exist

Consume predecessor flesh
New perspective sustenance
Dethrone successor death
Placed over side the fence

Property owned is prologue destroyed
The world was once beautiful but epilogue is sown
Nowhere is the only place to grow

You are nothing/We are nothing

To all the raccoons, squirrels, cats, dogs
Whose dying breaths are on the hot side of the road
All my contained gasps as i pass
Makeshift mass for your undug bones
The ocean of my tears should spread the surface of this pitiful earth
And drown the ones that ruined your body and home
May your spirits rise from your opened maws
And, into every guilt-ridden thought, roam

I will see you in the future
When we reach the same end place

Create to destroy
I dig and bury my hands
I pray to each clump for forgiveness
I kneel and get dirty
I pray and feel less guilty

I dig my arms into the dirt
I dig my chest into the dirt
My stomach into the dirt
I dig my legs into the dirt
I dig my feet into the dirt
My head into the dirt

I dig deeper until i feel silence
I dig deeper until the dirt calls to me
The dirt, it calls to me
The dirt, it speaks to me

I mourn for the unmourned
Grieve the ungraved

I am nothing/We are nothing

I am below you
