Suitable Strata Lyrics

Dead fall

Out your window

We all saw it go

You said you tried to stop

You calloused your skin

Purposeful

And you swallow your voice

And you swallow your protest

And you swallow your blood

Street cleaner jumped the curb

Started buffing the sidewalk

Tore up the road verge

Displacing a mess of the earth

It left worse than before

Went searching for suitable strata

To bury your body cozy and close

Decompose to eternally better view

I regret that it wasn't much use

I regret not all that I said

But what I said that wasn't to you

I regret it's all I can do

I guess there's something off about

What's underneath us, I don't know

I guess there's something else

I could have done or left alone

I guess there was some surface that

We left perfectly still and when

You saw our odd reflection

I guess that was the hardest part, I don't know
