I dreamt of your familiar stalking shadows of things As mastodon mandibles rattle their teeth From trees the teeth fall And chew the earth's sprawl Time lapsed and lost under blankets of rot Fertilized in mulch, gestating for naught We'll slough this bark And bear our mark Are we alive or are we dead I fell asleep in the garden bed I'm not a rose and I'm not a weed My mind is dirt, your words are seeds Give me room and I promise I'll bloom And we I die just dance on my tomb In the future I'll feed the worms We'll all be dust, you'll get your turn My heart is quartz, my soul is stone We'll all decay but never alone Sometimes silence can be a poem I feel so fake like styrofoam Wanna live forever like mastodon bones Wanna live forever like mastodon bones Wanna live forever like mastodon bones I'm a live forever like mastodon bones We crawled out of a mud bath A primordial soup This slipstream reality revealing the fruits Of process once Fraught not lost We watched at Chihuru began placing the eggs At the center of the mouths open gaping decayed We watched our death And creations breadth Are we alive or are we dead I fell asleep in the garden bed I'm not a rose and I'm not a weed My mind is dirt, your words are seeds Give me room and I promise I'll bloom And we I die just dance on my tomb In the future I'll feed the worms We'll all be dust, you'll get your turn My heart is quartz, my soul is stone We'll all decay but never alone Sometimes silence can be a poem I feel so fake like styrofoam Wanna live forever like mastodon bones Wanna live forever like mastodon bones Wanna live forever like mastodon bones I'm a live forever like mastodon bones And there i break the urn And breath the ash Inhale remains of these carbon ghosts These artifacts They stain my lungs I cough up earth amnesia
