barbelith - scientist (band) lyrics

Loading...

i am the leading edge of a long snake
young tail of which in my mother remains
from there i’ve slithered down
all the way to where i’m now
my past self drags behind me like a chain

am i the final bone in a mass grave?
has this compound worm met its fate?
will i now be consumed?
what more is there left to do but
face this god that i so love to hate?

now, i see him there

i see god is just like me, an undulating centipede
collapsing and evolving through some unnamed direction
a branching, bristling thing of countless interpretations
all the arms of which are contained inside of me

there, i see him now

i’ve run those bridges back, mother into mother
i left one thing and i came back another
so many instances of death and genesis
such beginnings for an ending to discover
but every veil pulled back reveals another
until finally, truth
we are one consuming, contorting, larval being
complacent, sedated, unaware that we share one common mind
waiting, gestating, still not yet ready to be born

- scientist band lyrics
