Controlled Mayhem Then Erupts Lyrics - Singles - Cave-in

This moon was a planet just like earth, 

Only it is even deader. 

The pistols of its flowers are the only protection 

Against insects, which were 

More preoccupied with the 

Half-rotted inhabitants soiled to the brim 

Under their own garments. 

History tells us of their blood 

Flowing down one leg and up the other. 

Memories insoluble to their conscience, 

Memories outside themselves in a twisted prank 

Played upon them by dogs 

Tired of chasing their food.

Thin oxygen curves their posture substantially. 

Flashes of their purpose 

Stripped to skeletal ornaments 

Of meat and resin from animal marks 

Flicker over the loudscreen. 

Machines hum quietly in the distance. 

A few naive inhabitants wander 

Foolishly after sundown 

In search of black spots, 

But no one leaves this moon carefree of memory. 

Survivors often match their hands upward 

Towards greater satellites, 

Wronged in the eyes by a million miles 

And a million more bodies to sift through.

The smaller creatures have the secret 

To pinning us down to the dirt: 

When they breathe, they inspire. 

When we breathe, we expire.
