lyrics

I'd like to be self sufficient
I try to reproduce by cutting off digits
and if I knew I could survive without them
I would cut off a finger every day
and leave it out in the snow
for the visitors

strobing I saw it move one frame at a time
that nauseating flicker from behind my eyes behind the field
behind the way-too-many rocks above me
with lumps like taste buds crowding the surface
in 67 reflections all round my head
and shapes where the sun would set
open like faucets and spill light all over our new home

flashbacks to tomorrow keep me up all night
those dreams of forgotten spit from last time
cause they don't write songs for the one who loves less
and the house is a wreck and your clothes are on the floor
eating away at the paint like bile
I could see why you wouldn't wear them anymore

I am completely self sufficient
I reproduce by cutting off digits
and I know they can survive without me
so every day I cut off a finger
and I leave it in the snow
in that certain place I go
to meet the visitors
