[Verse 1] You came in soft as rain through a cracked-up door Left a pale little garden where my ribs meet the floor Now the roots lace tight round the beat in my chest And every thought bends toward the place you rest [Pre-Chorus] I know what you’re doing, I still let it grow Your name in the marrow, your shape in the spores [Chorus] There’s fungus growing on my heart Soft white fingers pulling me apart It takes my mind, but I call it love I taste the rot and still want more of us You hurt like a fever, you heal like a drug I’m losing my head to the thing that I hug [Verse 2] The kitchen clock skips when you’re gone for a day I count every stain where your shadow once lay A sweet little bloom climbs the back of my tongue I say I’m okay, but the words come out wrong [Pre-Chorus] I know what you’re doing, I still let it grow Your name in the marrow, your shape in the spores [Chorus] There’s fungus growing on my heart Soft white fingers pulling me apart It takes my mind, but I call it love I taste the rot and still want more of us You hurt like a fever, you heal like a drug I’m losing my head to the thing that I hug [Bridge] If I cut you out, would the beating come back? Would I know my own face with the roots pulled slack? You’re the ache and the answer, the wound and the balm I hate how you hollow me out—and stay calm [Final Chorus] There’s fungus growing on my heart Soft white fingers pulling me apart It takes my mind, but I call it love I taste the rot and still want more of us You hurt like a fever, you heal like a drug I’m losing my head to the thing that I hug [Outro] Still growing Still yours Still growing Through the walls of my heart
