Pythons Lyrics by ME REX

Giant Elk

2023

It feels like weeks passed while we were sleeping
It feels like time all just escaped
Like generations of houseflies lived died and piled up
Across wide dilated days
And while we beautified in sleep
The putrid fruits rotted away
It could have been years in honesty
The best part of any century
I could have sworn I lay my head down in the scalding air of an august day
We awoke to roads all snow lined, thought I’d walk home anyway
I don’t know why it was years before we missed you
Or the lives we used to have
Somewhere caught up in the tangle
Of a million lifetimes been and passed

To sleep right through the end of the future
Like two gorged pythons on the ground
Life in dreams unpunctuated
While the decade’s snaking out and
Meanwhile a hunger swelled up inside me like our dying devouring sun
And we can both go out for breakfast
If you think that kind of thing is fun
The summer still is coming for us
Always autumn stalks behind
Winter wins out in the end
A sickly spring stumbling in
I swear has never been on time

And left now in the embers of the evening
As all warmth fades from the day
Remember how you glowed so brightly
We were defended against pain
But we got somehow forgotten
God forgot what we were for and
This world burned out from beneath us
It’s not life and/or death anymore

It’s not life and/or death anymore
(It’s not life and/or death anymore)
It’s not life and/or death anymore
(It’s not life and/or death anymore)
It’s not life and/or death anymore
(It’s not life and/or death anymore)
It’s not life and/or death anymore
(It’s not life and/or death anymore)

And gathered all unbroken mornings to
Glister pristine at your door
Undawned dormant days made formless
It’s not life and/or death anymore
But we remain ungrazed by daylight
Bruised not by the years onslaught
Blessed with bodies obsolete now
It’s not life and/or death anymore

It’s not life and/or death anymore
It’s not life and/or death anymore
It’s not life and/or death anymore
It’s not life and/or death anymore
