- Lyrics
Verse:
In the morning I pack up my gear and toss it in my carryall
Run the wide load to the lip and watch the big core crack and glow
In the evening I undo my belt
Split open and melt
Verse:
I wake up on my stomach with my face between my hands
and crawl along the floor toward the doorway
Jumping to my feet I try to pull myself together
but I feel it in my knees
and the room begins to spin
and I slip and bump my head and raise a welt
Split open and melt
Chorus:
Melt, split open and melt...
Verse:
We breathe deep, in a steam dream
and plunge below the water line
down, down, down, down, down, down
between beams, to the gloom room
among the seaweed and the slime
down, down, down, down, down, down
- Guitar and bass tablature, and a loop to play along with.
