lyrics

The monster underground coughed and opened up his mouth
He was trying to spit some diamonds out
But he choked on them and died
With his mouth left gaping wide
Now we're standing on his chin lookin' in

Let's explore the riches of his throat and bowels
To fins him sad and empty
Oh no love!
A dead volcano
Hollow caves of crystals make a maze from his past conflictions
But it's not hopeless...
I can hear canaries down there whistling in contradictions

You and me we'll be the ghosts of molten rivers
Forever lost in loves endeavors 'till our eyes fuse shut
And I wont miss the light of distant stars that I can't conquer
'cause as long as I can feel you I can't feel lost
Most of the world is an eternal darkness anyway
And that sounds about right to me
Crystal caves wont last forever
And why is the path to nowhere
