lyrics

Old as dirt

The forest adores a swollen mouth
Packed with leaves and hurt
And buried up to its blackened heart,
With a love as old as dirt. Old as dirt.
With a love as old as dirt.

The cliff face loves a falling man,
As do the rocks below -
Lust for the sound of breaking bones,
With a love as old as dirt.

The woods adore a hanging man
In an old and tattered shirt;
It adores his ragged pants and head,
With a love as old as dirt. Old as dirt.
With a love as old as dirt.

The river loves a skewered corpse
To rest beneath its waves,
To play with its hair and flaking skin,
With a love as old as dirt.

The earth adores a lifeless soul,
Silent, still, inert -
To pour its soil in ears and eyes,
With a love as old as dirt. Old as dirt.
With a love as old as dirt.
