Lyrics
I know it’s all thick
With thunder in your throat
The worst storms undead
Unsaid and unchanging
But taking every room inside your head

Wither wither if we don’t find some light somewhere soon
How am I to be
To be at home with all this density embodied
Everybody’s density up on me

well,
you’re home no matter where you stand
or can’t stand
to be
Your be is unchanging
But changing what it means
to be
Home

Figure Figure we’ve been suffering enough now
Between the roof and mythos of autonomy

Everybody’s density up on me
Everybody’s heavy with the zombie consciousness causing this stress Stress unspoken and

thundering
Undead and unchanging

it may be
or maybe

You’re changing what it means
to be
home

Remember the works of sun
Towering within the blue

While we are stuck inside
Wide atmospheres breathe and surround you
