When I Was Done Dying

Lyrics

When I was done dying, my conscience regained
 So I began my struggle, a nothingness strained
 Out of a flash made of time, my new form blasted out
 And it startled me so, and I burst out a shout
 Which my legs ran frantic like birds from a nest
 And I ran until drained, leaving no choice but rest
 So I feel asleep softly at the edge of a cave
 But I should've gone deeper, but I'm not so brave
 And like that I was torn out and thrown in the sky
 And I said all my prayers because surely I'll die
 As I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt
 How my skin did explode, leaving only my shirt
 But from shirt grew a tree and that tree grew a fruit
 And I became the seed and that seed was a brute
 And I clawed through the ground with my roots and my leaves
 And I tore up the shirt and I ate up the sleeves
 And they laughed at me and said 'what is your plan?'
 But their question was foreign, I did not understand
 When then suddenly I'm ripped up and placed in a mouth
 And it swallowed me down each time I head South (I said...)
 ♪
 I woke up to see them, these two mighty steeds
 With there mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs
 As they stood there above me, being flanked on each side
 I felt no need to fear them
 No reason to hide
 So I reached up to touch
 But they faded too soon
 Yet their mouth still remained
 And stacked up towards the moon
 How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night
 And I looked up in awe of that beautiful sight
 As I dreamt about climbing into the night sky
 But know had I touched them they'd mouth back
 'Bye, bye'
 So I got up and walked down the path in the dark
 And there, deep in the distance, my eye caught a spark
 Of a crab twice my size with incredible strength
 Though it greeted me kindly
 And then we all drank
 Yeah we drooled out together
 Right onto the ground
 And the ocean grew quickly
 Right up all around
 And the Earth looked at me
 And said: 'wasn't that fun?
 And I replied: I'm sorry, if I hurt anyone
 And without even thinking
 Cast me into space
 But before she did that
 She wiped off my own face
 She said better luck next time
 Don't worry so much
 Without ears I couldnt hear
 I could just feel the touch
 As I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
 But I should have gone deeper
 But I'm not so brave I said
