[default genders - Cascadia subduction zone lyrics]
If you love me
Does that just mean you don't know me?
You don't know what i was
Like when i was young
You didn't ever have to
Listen to me shouting
Any pointlessly cruel things at
Those you love
And not a single human being
Who once loved me
Walked away from me without
Some kind of wound
I left scars that, to this day
Still mar the hearts of
All the very best people i ever knew
And the dark? well, it gets darker
And our hearts? well, they get harder
So what other options are there, baby?
What else is left to say?
While i grate and i grasp and
I fall and i lapse
And i breathe and i stop and
I bleed and i rot
And the ground starts to shake
As the world begins breaking in two
And i'm like "good, i wanted it to"
If you love me
Does that just mean that we're waiting
For the bell to ring
And signal we should fight?
Is that why everyone who's
Standing in my corner
Keeps saying everything will
Change after tonight?
When you first found me sitting
On a pile of bodies
You thought of enemies of yours
That i could kill
As if those bodies don't belong
To those i loved once
Who disappointed me, just as you surely will
Now it's my blood in the water
And i don't wanna be a martyr
So what other options are there, baby?
What else is left to say?
While i grate and i grasp and
I fall and i lapse
And i breathe and i stop and
I bleed and i rot
And the ground starts to shake
As the world begins breaking in two
And i'm like "good, i wanted it to"
Well, it feels like it's been centuries
Since we fought for survival
Now we feast upon our friends and
Toast their memory with rivals
Our songs all sound identical
I can't recall the titles
But i'm sure they're all
On apple music, spotify, and tidal
And the ancient survivors of
The nineties crystal crisis
Look up at us with big fat
Tears welling up in their eyelids
They said they really thought heroin
Had left them mostly lifeless
But they'd never seen such lifelessness as
That which lives inside us
(which is true)
And i'm like "good, i wanted it to"
Does that just mean you don't know me?
You don't know what i was
Like when i was young
You didn't ever have to
Listen to me shouting
Any pointlessly cruel things at
Those you love
And not a single human being
Who once loved me
Walked away from me without
Some kind of wound
I left scars that, to this day
Still mar the hearts of
All the very best people i ever knew
And the dark? well, it gets darker
And our hearts? well, they get harder
So what other options are there, baby?
What else is left to say?
While i grate and i grasp and
I fall and i lapse
And i breathe and i stop and
I bleed and i rot
And the ground starts to shake
As the world begins breaking in two
And i'm like "good, i wanted it to"
If you love me
Does that just mean that we're waiting
For the bell to ring
And signal we should fight?
Is that why everyone who's
Standing in my corner

Change after tonight?
