Lyrics

Look down on the body that you have grown
Though mountains stand around you, they're not your own
And light squares and bodies are all you see
Since you broke down
Since I broke down
Since we broke down

Oh I jump into your grave and die
And on my word you'll give up your whole life for me
And you'll be reborn, bigger and stronger
And less alive

Cross your fingers, hold your toes
We're all gonna die when the building blows
Cross your fingers, hold your toes
We're all gonna die when the building blows
And the house that you were born in
Is crumbling at the corners
Sagging skin and feet of crows
Feet of crows

Oh I'll jump into your grave and die
And on my word you'll give up your whole life for me
And you'll be reborn, bigger and stronger
And less alive
