Lyrics
[Verse 1]
12 little wells of golden ink
Bone bottles stacked mouth to tail
Arching your back into the sand cloud
Our thoughts underneath her skin
Arctic to equator
[Verse 2]
A pair of sympathetic ridges shift
You've evolved to harness
These constant eruptions
Through vascular pen heads
Tectonic verse flows
Riding again, again, again, again, again (They all can seem purple)
[Verse 3]
I'm floating a lucky heart over their palm
Casual ribs house an expanded mind
Left and right hemispheres in balance
Constant composition and eighty scribbles per minute
Let us flow towards that
Transfer every character that circulating function
Nests flowing forward
Out the snaking valve
(Nothing eternal)
It too dipping itself in and out in intervals
[Verse 4]
12 little wells of golden ink
Bone bottles stacked mouth to tail
Penned in its planet 'round the cracky pole
The inner hall expands in gilded breaths
Compelled to give itself the moment it is for
Compelled to give itself the moment it is for
Compelled to give itself the moment it is for
Compelled to give itself the moment it is for
Compelled to give itself the moment it is for
Compelled to give itself the moment it is for
Compelled to give yourself the moment you are for
Compelled to give yourself the moment you are held
Compelled to give yourself the moment you are for
Compelled to give yourself the moment you are held
