    Lyrics

    Red Yellow

    [Verse]

While gathering glitter your arms reach into heaven

They’re bending then breaking and cracked

Your mind is a lie and a lie is a line spinning in a spiral

Glowing in air that is thick and opaque and is black

(Flat dead black)

Uselessly screaming while chewing the ceiling

The mouth that is screaming is the mouth that is breathing red dust

(It’s in us, red dust)

Licking your fingers, your butter, your shadow

Your belly is pregnant with plaster and sawdust and lust

(Feeding us, in disgust)

Your eyes are reversing traversing red canyons

In thе floor of an ocean swirling with sulfur, carbon and rust

[Bridge]

It’s in us

Lust: is in us

Lust: is disgust

[Instrumental Section]

[Chorus]

Red in mind

Red yеllow moon

Yellow eye

Red yellow room

(Vocalizing)

Red sucking tongue

(Vocalizing)

The red will come

(Vocalizing)

Red sucking tongue

(Vocalizing)

The red will come

(Vocalizing)

The red will come

(Vocalizing)

The red will come

(Vocalizing)

The red will come

(Vocalizing)
