lyrics

I shot us down
The center of the street
and through the screeching metal
To taste the spell that made us shiver

I cast a golden thread at the cemetery gates
and held you closer to whisper:
I am not a minotaur

Now I’m in the thick of it:
Digging my own graves
Abandoning the dead ends

We have to find the perfect death, tangled in a golden mess
We’ve got to find the perfect death, strangled by a golden thread

Pretending to know what the fuck death is

What the fuck life isn't
What the fuck life is

I would remember- I’ve been here forever
and I exist without seams
The only thing that time means
Is that I won’t be alive
Like this tomorrow

Looking at you
Suddenly my visions are disassembling

Suddenly, my body said:
I’m too antiquated to go on
I’m getting out at the next grave

There was a fire in me, but feelings are fleeting
We always want new, we always want more
I am too quick to let go and I never look back
So I cast a thread

Vishnu’s pulse is on my neck
but it’s been 6 months since it was checked
It’s all a part of my search for meaning
In a restless dimension that strips it from me

So hear my words: you were right
You know me better than I know myself

In the strangest of places
You were right

You were right

Hello, nice to meet you! We are March of the Ant, and we play music to fall in love.
