Mastodons Lyrics

It came from outer s***e it seems
And dropped it's seeds in the rows of your dreams
Then the vines set in to grow
In the place in your heart where you greive
And with a blackness you cannot describe
The tendrils pull the vessels collide
Muscle memory sluggish and dull
No will left to sort or divide
And yet the rush of gravity beams
The smell of the river after it rains
The feel of your feet touching the earth
The chance that love will someday return
Out in the brambles the tar and the weeds
Visitors come visitors leave
Bracing for winter you harden your bones
Mercury drops by degrees
And all you can hear is the rushing of blood
As it pushes past your ears up into your head
Filling your dreams with snakes and drums
And mastodons stuck in the mud

But somehow moments still break through
Despite the dying inside of you
And lift you up like the warmth of the sun
And radiate out toward everyone
And, oh, the rush of gravity beams
The smell of the river after it rains
The feel of your feet touching the earth
The chance that love will someday return
