Ziggurat Lyrics by Mia Doi Todd

Zeroone

0

Ziggurats are built only to crumble
We approach the gods
Then prepare to tumble down down

Love's a kind of knowledge
You’ve written that on your arm
The kind you learn in college
In cafes and beds and bars
And I am studying my youth away

For they will take my island
Of that much I'm sure
The tides roll in from Thailand
To pilfer my shores
Grain by grain by grain
They drive me insane
Grain by grain by grain
They drive me insane

I still drive under your influence
Crawling cross-country
A year and a day of St. Louis misery
With my tail between my legs
And my shoulders hunched
With my tail between my legs
And my shoulders hunched

There's a shell on the beach
For every broken home
And we pick up the pieces
From out the sea foam
But our hands are too weak
And small to hold them all
Our hands are too weak
And small to hold them all

Ziggurats are built only to crumble
We approach the gods
Then prepare to tumble down down down down

Walking across the grass
I’ve got a peaceful feeling
I've got a peaceful feeling
How long will this moment last?
When will I hit the ceiling?
Shatter this beautiful feeling
Into all those disregardable pieces?
Into all those disregardable pieces?

Walking across the grass
I've got a peaceful feeling
I've got a peaceful feeling
Looking forward and through the past
To see without seeing
Into the sea of seething
Time/space/matter
Where nothing's the matter
Where nothing's the matter

I am all alone, you are all alone
Here we are alone together tonight
I am all inside, you are all inside
How to get inside each other tonight

Hey, you oughta crack open my shell
Hey, you oughta dive deep for my pearl
I am all inside, you are all inside
How to get inside each other tonight

Hey, you oughta crack open my shell
Hey, you oughta dive deep for my pearl
I am all alone, you are all alone
Here we are alone together tonight
