Suture lashed to the mast
New crease in palm of hand
Drawn beneath the sea
Drown just enough to break free
On you, the wave breaks new
With the force to push through you
Crossing on the borderline
Between light and loss and time
The die-off, the die-off, the die-off, the die-off
Words change shape to fit through holes
Circles I cut in your skull
Blessed machine, opposite of life
It is real, it is true, it is everything but you
Blessed murderer, hunting scraps of carrion
The die-off is real, the die-off is true
The die-off is real, it is everything but you
Lose your grip when you hear the call
Breath if you survive the fall
On you the wave breaks new
With the force to push you through
Crossing on the borderline
Between light and loss and time
The die-off is real, the die-off is true
The die-off is real, it is everything but you
