Rot Lyrics by ​thayerperiod

All Dogs Go To Heaven

2024

When the roots start to rot
They tend to fall apart
Mold gets in every inch
Why's the water feel so cold?
When the walls start to cave
And breathing gets so hard
Just take a walk with me
Slow the beating of your heart

Swollen, sunken eyes, they peer around
Flesh withering to the touch
A virgin thought inside your mind
Skin so cold, but still it's flushed

When the roots start to rot
They tend to fall apart
Mold gets in every inch
Why's the water feel so cold
When the walls start to cave
And breathing gets so hard
Just take a walk with me
Slow the beating of your heart

When the roots start to rot
You'll have a place with me
Deep down here in the earth
We'll sleep snugly under trees
I promise, don't be scared
It's just the land between
I'm sleeping safe and sound
Come join me in sordid peace

Bush and bramble guard my earthy tomb
Thorns and nettles decorate the room
Don't be scared, it's unnerving
But reassuring
You'll make this place a home
Through the darkness and delusion
We've danced this dance
A hundred times before

When the roots start to rot
You'll find a way to me
I know this in my heart
Entwined in love and peace
Stay as long as you'd like
There's plenty room around
I swear you'll be okay
Everything's safe and sound

When the roots give out
It's hardly fair
But that's nature baby
Maybe next time you'll have better luck

And if you turn me down
You'll see me in the wind
The fibers in the ground
And the blood under your skin
Then I'll never be found
Quieter than a pin
I'll be under the dirt
But you'll never see my grin

I do not need your touch
Or company at all
It's fine down here alone
It's less cooking for the stove
But when you hear my name
You'll never sleep quite right
The mirrors start to warp
Or maybe it's just your sight

I hardly care at all, I just wanted your opinion
About the shade of lime and zinc that compliments the den
Guess I'll just figure this silly problem on my own
You're different anyways, I think it's best that I'm alone

So go and live your life
I'll be down here so gay
Honestly, it's fine
It's better anyway
Your flesh is foreign now
The warmth feels oh, so wrong
Your blood feels like acid
Why should I care at all

When the roots start to rot
They tend to fall apart
Mold gets in every inch
Why's the water feel so cold?
When the walls start to cave
And breathing gets so hard
Just take a walk with me
Slow the beating of your heart

When the roots give out
It's hardly fair
But that's nature, baby
Maybe next time you'll have better luck
