THE IMAGE IS A FROG SMEARED WITH ASH, WHICH FORMS A THICK PASTE ON ITS SKIN, AND STOPS IT FROM BREATHING.
lyrics
ASH LAND
start light
escalate quickly
pluck my neck like a goose and say
I was wrong
hell night
you can’t forgive me
for being so low to the ground
a crawling thing
wet skin
regard me
who do you now see?
regard me
what do you now see?
and I could take that from you
take it all in my arms
and want to see you
to warm your hands in my armpits oh
that’s right
and look now who’s with me
you could never keep hold of me
i’ll unfurl
regard me
who do you now see?
regard me
what do you now see?
familiar with gravel
familiar with the sole of your shoe
familiar with gravel
familiar with the sole of your shoe
regard me
who do you now see?
regard me
what do you now see?
an ash land, an ash land
an ash land, an ash land
fields of ash, fields of ash
fields of ash, fields of ash
sun blotted out, sun blotted out
plains of destruction, plains of destruction
an ash land, an ash land
an ash land, an ash land
fields of ash, fields of ash
fields of ash, fields of ash
sun blotted out, sun blotted out
plains of destruction
When I lived in you you were a swamp
When I lived in you you were my home
When I lived in you you were a swamp
When I lived in you you were my home
When I lived in you you were a swamp
When I lived in you you were my home
Fetid with dead things I know
but burning like you were my own
