Lost my whole family to a germ on the breeze
They weave their bodies through the roots of the trees
I'm sinking farther in the fire
You go to work, you pad your organs with fat
Dress up in fictions all your sadder of facts
I'm sinking farther in the fire
Red light motel, I balaclava my face
She says I'm thriving, she can tell by the pace
But I'm sinking farther in the fire
Why we live and why we die
You throw your hands up in the sky
But no one's listening, no one knows
You're in the wilderness alone
Take out the garbage, patch the roof where it leaks
Of what love drives us to we scarcely should speak
Turn on the burners, fill the house up with fumes
Take out a lighter, stand alone in the room
Am I sinking farther in the fire?
Am I sinking farther in the fire?
Why we live and why we die
You throw your hands up in the sky
Such a mystery, no one knows
You're in the wilderness alone
I'm sinking farther in the fire
I'm sinking farther in the fire
I'm sinking farther in the fire
