lyrics

Stilt house, on the murky lake water
Its structure home to termites and silverfish
Through the hole in the ceiling that fell from the rain, through years of decay
You can glean twin statue eulogies to our kind

Their eyes are eternally locked now
Their arms, gently draped in a loving hold
In a gesture of comfort they knew was their last
Held onto each other fast, there the mold was cast, by the silent blast

Silk webs, connect half decayed lovers
Wolf spiders, trap their prey in the bridge it foms
And the larva the larva these burgeoning lives from stomachs they rise they rise
Building homes in the ruins of what they don’t know

They don’t know who we were
They don’t care who we were

These walls have long since released theirs souls
These halls echo not with their haunting howls
Distant shells left from the day of the heavy rain, the sorrow and pain
Tardigrades care not, and keep swimming along
