[Verse 1] Ancient woods… a lump of soot and all the burning glare, Wolf and hare… a bone that’s stuck and slowly lying bare. Cuckoo lost her count, she spits into the empty sky, In these woods… nothing hurts. It just rots and passes by. Someone crawled inside and now they bark and scream, Scraping iron on the plastic like a ghost inside a machine. Chirp and coo… like scales left in empty iron pots, Ash and cinders… where the fire finally turns to dust and rots. [Chorus] On the meadow, over grass in silent, heavy stupor, Silence bitten by a bumblebee’s long, lazy tuba. This is humming… like a drill inside a cold and numbing seam, Butterflies keep beating… like the dust inside a hollow dream, Where all is forgotten. And everything is exhausted. [Verse 2] Here’s the gate, where rust and rotten wood and heavy dust unite, Here your thoughts fall off like scales into the darkness of the night. Step inside now, arms pressed and eyes shut tightly, don’t resist, World is wrinkled deep… a wound that never sees the light persist. Topography… an old and ugly, long-forgotten scar, Just accept it: gods don’t care who or where you are. [Chorus] On the meadow, over grass in silent, heavy stupor, Silence bitten by a bumblebee’s long, lazy tuba. This is humming… like a drill inside a cold and numbing seam, Butterflies keep beating… like the dust inside a hollow dream, Where all is forgotten. And everything is exhausted. [Bridge] Calm yourself… your panic is a useless, noisy sound, Just submit… your burning mind is lost, nowhere to be found. All that mattered… erased, rewritten, sewn anew, Your tomorrow… forgotten, broken, long since through. [Chorus] On the meadow, over grass in silent, heavy stupor, Silence bitten by a bumblebee’s long, lazy tuba. This is humming… like a drill inside a cold and numbing seam, Butterflies keep beating… like the dust inside a hollow dream, Where all is forgotten. And everything is exhausted. [Outro] Wrinkled and deeply scarred… like the skin on ancient hands, All that once lay open… now resembles you in barren lands. Just submit. And calm your mind…
