lyrics

Fear not a thing in this hole of dust
I'll take you home to pick the weeds of my making
I am your father, the one to whom you pray
I'm the one who made your night and day
Be calm. Close your eyes. I would never tell a lie
Nothing here but the breath of old crones
Nothing here but the dust of old stones
Dust of old stones

Can't hear the voices

In time you learn to stalk
A child is taught to speak before it walks
Why have teeth if not to eat with?
Why a tongue if not to speak with?
Take my hand you know you need it
Through the breathing hole we walk

What you think I wouldn't notice?
What you think I wouldn't know?

Can't hear the voices
Can't hear the voices calling out

No getting out
Never getting out
