Four Organs - Steve Reich

I am sorry this is always how it goes The wind blows loudest when you've got your eyes closed But I never changed a single colour that I breathe So you could have tried to take a closer look at me I am tired of punching in the wind I am tired of letting it all in And I should eat you up and spit you right out I should not care but I don't know how So I take off my face Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong I am sorry for the trouble, I suppose My blood runs red but my body feels so cold I guess I could swim for days in the salty sea But in the end the waves will discolour me So I take off my face Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I cough up my lungs Because they remind me of how it all went wrong And I leave in my heart Because I don't want to stay in the dark So I take off my face Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I pull out my tongue Because it reminds me of how it all went wrong And I cough up my lungs Because they remind me how it all went wrong But I leave in my heart Because I don't want to stay in the dark

Death is all All is death No escape 'Til final breath A mortal hellride on earth Born to die we exist As our bodies tear and wither Ashes, organs, blood and crypts Open wounds Organs spill Corpses drop Humans kill A mortal hellride on earth Born to die we exist As our bodies tear and wither Ashes, organs, blood and crypts The only way out is The call of the tomb Staggering forward And broken to doom Dust will claim every Scrap of our skins As soon as we're born The decaying begins

How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life...
