In A Week

I have never known peace
 Like the damp grass that yields to me
 
 I have never known hunger
 Like these insects that feast on me
 A thousand teeth
 And yours among them, I know
 Our hungers appeased
 Our heartbeats becoming slow
 
 We lay here for years or for hours
 Thrown here or found
 To freeze or to thaw
 So long, we'd become the flowers
 Two corpses we were
 Two corpses I saw
 And they'd find us in a week
 When the weather gets hot
 After the insects have made their claim
 I'd be home with you
 I'd be home with you
 ♪
 I have never known sleep
 Like the slumber that creeps to me
 
 I have never known color
 Like this morning reveals to me
 ♪
 And you haven't moved an inch
 Such that I would not know
 If you sleep always like this
 The flesh calmly going cold
 We lay here for years or for hours
 Your hand in my hand
 So still and discreet
 So long, we'd become the flowers
 We'd feed well the land
 And worry the sheep
 And they'd find us in a week
 When the cattle show fear
 After the insects have made their claim
 After the foxes have known our taste
 I'd be home with you
 I'd be home with you
 They'd find us in a week (Lay here for years or for hours)
 When the weather gets hot (So long, we'd become the flowers)
 They'd find us in a week (Lay here for years or for hours)
 When the cattle show fear (So long, we'd become the flowers)
 And they'd find us in a week
 When the buzzards get loud
 After the insects have made their claim
 After the foxes have known our taste
 After the raven has had its say
 I'd be home with you
 I'd be home with you
 I'd be home with you
 I'd be home with you
 I'd be home with you
 I'd be home with you
