Joe Bartel - Ziggurat Lyrics

Maybe I'll meander to the Mighty Mississippi
Destroy the Stone Arch Bridge and let the river drag me down
Or find myself atop the tallest mountain in the world
As you strap me to the Ziggurat and cut my heart out
No blood, no bone, no tissue
Would that solve every issue?
Destroy my body, hit the brakes, and fade to black
As you shuffle me off this mortal coil
We're a prison - a vessel - we're nothing to be loved
But just because I hate this world doesn't mean I wanna die
Just because it's pointless doesn't mean we shouldn't try
I will push this boulder up this mountain till it rolls back down
And crushes me into the dirt and I will call this grave my home
Break my bones and eat my flesh
Save my soul discard the rest
Leave me as a sunken freighter dashed upon the rocks
Spitting bile and blood inside this ouroboros
My soul will turn to poison as my body rots
Pry open my coffin and plunder what you find inside
Cos I'll be gone
Or burning in hell
Or turning over with the sand inside the hourglass
But just because I hate this world doesn't mean I wanna die
Just because it's pointless doesn't mean we shouldn't try
I will press my hands into the eons as on wax
And when the reaper comes to claim my soul
I guarantee he'll know my name
Break my bones and eat my flesh
Save my soul discard the rest
Leave me as a sunken freighter dashed upon the rocks
Spitting bile and blood inside this ouroboros
My soul will turn to poison as my body rots
No more blood, no bone, no tissue
Would that solve every issue?
Destroy my body, hit the brakes, and fade to black
Reanimated flesh reducing me to a bubbling black ichor in my veins
