Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Immerse me
In jubilant flames
With iridescent tongue
Lick away the skin
Don't dare be kind
Paralyze me in paraffin
And spark the match
[Verse 2]
Teach me to tear
Chitin back
To flirt with fear
To tunnel through
From a new
Morning womb
Morning womb
[Verse 3]
Splay out anew
Coarse and naked
As the truth
Each digit like a compass pole
Glowing, oh
Starlike in the white hot heat
Starlike, oh
[Verse 4]
I will coax you out
Like vermin hiding
Every crawl space in your heart
You'll flow out, blinding
[Verse 5]
An opalescent river
Molten being of vigor
Hurtling toward oblivion
I passed straight through the eye and screamed
May we all be
[Chorus]
I'm tryna improve the odds
And we obey
I'm hoping to improve the odds
[Bridge]
When I reach for you
When I stretch my arms
Beg your guide
You should know
I speak not to you
There is no you
You never were
I speak to me
I command me
[Verse 6]
I see
You clear
I see
I see
You clear
I see you clear
[Verse 7]
I see you clear as the dawn
There's no, no more hiding now
I feel the ache that gnaws at your heel
Did you think this was any less than fate?
[Verse 8]
Feel your spring
Boiling up
From the black
Like the eyes of a bride beneath her veil
[Outro]
Ecstatic, resolute
Abduct the absolute
Dismember the deceiver
Rise like a servant
And rise
Bury your mask and burn
Rise
Bury your mask and burn
