Ethel Cain - Colossus lyrics

Mother matron of the morning time
Ebb and flow as the sun will rise
Colossal gods run the expanses
Pulling you in with their dark black tide

I am not as small as I believe I am
I am god to your mother i am mother of man
Command your ancestors
Hold their heads in my hand
I won’t swim in your ocean colossus
I can’t

Tell me you love me and light me on fire
Fuck me to death on my funeral pyre
I’ll become your rock i can’t feel your love
Is this the abyss that your god speaks of

I am not as small as I think I am
I am god to your mother i am mother of man
Command your ancestors
Through no slight of hand
I won’t swim in your ocean colossus
I can’t

You are not as small as you think you are
You throw yourself into my waters
But you won’t go far
I am not the one you wanted
But I’m all you have
I’m your only saving grace
In this colossal black

Lose your conscience your purity
Give up your body give it to me
Lose your religion lose your soul
Give me your life give me it whole

I can't swim this anymore
I can give you nothing more

I am not as small as I think I am
I am god to your mother i am mother of man
Command your ancestors
Hold their heads in my hand
I won’t swim in your ocean colossus
I can’t
You are not as small as you think you are
You throw yourself into my waters
But you won’t go far
I am not the one you wanted
But I’m all you have
I’m your only saving grace
In this colossal black
