Let Me Up Lyrics - Mama, I'm Swollen - Cursive

Diseased heat, August on the 101 

Let me up 

The pale moon offers no consolations 

Would you let me up? 

Mosquitoes fat with our marrow 

Ebb and flow through the gumbo 

This humid bouillon, a cesspool 

Stop 

Won't someone, please, let me up? 

We're buoyed in atop the mercury 

Let me up 

We're the salt of the earth 

From a cell of the surf, this universe 

Well, let me up 

Let me up 

Why won't you let me up? 

I once had gills but they closed up 

Had webbed feet but they dried up 

Still have lungs but they're sewn up 

Stop, stop 

Won't someone just let me up? Oh 

We don't exist in an instant 

Let me up 

There's a hole in the floor 

As black as my mama's womb 

Those were the days 

Won't you let me up? 

I can't stop thinking of the time 

I was swallowed in the brine 

Won't you let me up? 

Let me up 

Mama, the planet is a placenta 

Pull the plug 

Let the heavens rise above 

Won't you let me up? 

Let me up 

Let me up, let me up 

Let me up, let me up 

I can't stop dreaming of the day 

I got swallowed into space 

Let me up, let me up 

Let me up, let me up 

Let me up 

I'm drowning in the egg 

Let me up
