lirik lagu ashbreather - pulse

i’ve become
high society rolled into just
one man
refined culture amalgamated
the grandeur of all creation
condensed so much
i contain it
the end of an era
the birth of another anew

am i all that’s left to worship me now?

i’d like to believe
my brethren can see
how high i could take them
can they see the glorious
girth i’ve reached
or am i to admire it on my own?

all love and belief
all spite and disease
resides in my figure
reduced into gelatin
outgrown my skeleton
i guess that mama said it right
when she told me that son:
you are what you eat
you eat what you are

i’ve become
a monument to the avarice
we’ve dreamt of
the endless growth of the human form
but i’ve still got brains
and i’ve still got bones
and blood to sustain
and god what i’d sacrifice just to eat again
again

i’d never conceived
such fullness could lead
such empty existence
oh, those gorged up guts
still are never enough
i swear this can’t be all

i’ll never believe
this mangle of meat
is d~mned to stagnation
jaws parting quivering
lips wet with spittle
that drips down to my waiting final
banquet
the appetite renewed
no longer languid
i’ll live and die by the tenets i’ve been taught

you are what you eat
you eat what you are

i’ve become
a bounty fit for the one and only sum of
all humanity’s laboured for
and when i look to my torso
all i see is a morsel
calling out my name
and screaming for me to bite down with feeling again
and again, and again and again

i swear i can feel
those heavenly gates
so near i can taste them
blood mixes in with the tears of joy
as the calories dance on my writhing tongue

eyes wide like a mongrel dog
in a frenzy of fangs and fluids
open cavern of gore, mouth snapping for more
innards strewn to be chewed and swallowed
under
the only constant across all life
is hunger
and all that’s left to unify is me

you are what you eat
you eat what you are

just take one last bite
ingest
pulse born
from death

new life
(i can’t be gone)
first breath
(i know my place)
fresh limbs
(still waiting for)
out~stretched
(those shining gates)

to feel the breeze
on your skin
(a turtle on his back)
entwined with all
that has been
(pleading eyeb~lls watch the skies)

paralytic
static sickness

who is
(i sprout and stretch)
this being
(limbs wandering)
oozing
(connected to)
from me
(great chains of being)

to feel the breeze
one last time
(a sprout becomes a grove)
to lose
all thought to be mine
(a pulse revives the earth)

one by one
each dying brain cell
sighs one final futile prayer
before switching off

i can’t
begin
to imagine a
world with
out me
and my pleasure
front and centre

goodbye
foetida pinguis
you’ve outlived your worth
sprout high
phaseolus vulgaris
reach out and blanket the earth

beanpole
looms over all
so tall and beautiful
people
just can’t compare
spirits still linger in air

our cells still linger in matter
our fingers sprout
out from our thoughts
growing fatter
the pulse pounds anew
