The Sky - Showbread

In the beginning there was black

And now there’s me

I bend the neck until it cracks

And suck the open bleed

I rise up above the spit

With talons brightly bared

And hew the children into two

I simply do not care

I am, I am

I am, I am

I am, I am

I am, I am

Open up now, world

I have arrived and now you crack

I’ll break my knuckles, split your teeth

And crush the ugly rats

Lay before me, world

I will not hide within your womb

I’ll peel my bones against your rocks

And seal them in your tomb

I am, I am

I am, I am

I am, I am

I am, I am

I am, I am

I am, I am

I am, I am

I am, I am

My ears are popping

Close your mouth, I know the way

Whisper to me, children

And be still and watch me fade away

I drench the dirt with my spit

You swim in its river

The way out is up

I watch you shiver

I am the arctic fingers

Wrapping around your neck

There’s nothing to stop me now

No fear and no regret
