[Verse 1] unstraighten the weave untangle the life the strands of the weft the breath of the fife into your wet mouth and over my breast let ripple, uncaught, the line and its test the fish and the fowl, the smoke and the fire my mouth a deep trap for swarming flies it opens and heaves the flowers and ice the vines tumble down into a deep blight [Verse 2] slip down to the fold the fold of the mine you'll learn of the mud, the cold and the brine you dream of its hold in stone arms you're caught, the rest and decline the smell of its thought the earth I did roar, alive and the dead the wind and the waters, the sinking wet dread hills splitting in half, the sound of the past then all of this life swimming freely and fast [Break] [Verse 3] into the wet mud, the blood in the air the salt of renewal crawling and bare you cannot yet see but still they will grow inside of you, loose my seed I did sow from loose earth I watch the tenacity the breath of the horse the boughs of the tree the foal and the wolf, faster than he my children they hunt, the Pack I let leave [Verse 4] leaves are all fallen, scratching the shins the frozen dead skin packed neath snow and scree the press of the earth, my hands on their chests breath coming loose, their hearts can now rest [Instrumental]
