lyrics

If you’d seen the edges of the land
And stared across the blankness
You’d have seen it
Back towards the monster
As it fell
You could’ve been so proud of me
What?
Nothing
OK
If you’d seen it

I stayed out of the searchlights
Snuck around
The way that we would sneak between our gardens
But now I look for footprints of our friends
And watch the way the light bends
And the heat sinks
Well if you’d seen it

Meredith bites the Earth
Meredith bites the Earth
Meredith bites the Earth
Meredith bites the Earth

If you’d seen the edges of the land
And pulled the curtain back now
You’d have seen it
Me inside its ribcage
Mad as trains
I took its heart between my teeth and bit down hard

If you’d seen the edges of the land
And stared across the blankness
You’d have seen it
Back towards the monster
As it fell
Into the devil’s basin or something
OK
What?
If you’d seen it

Meredith bites the Earth
Meredith bites the Earth
