Exometrium - Every Time I Die

Peel off the leather and dig out your heart, peel off the leather and dig out

your heart,

Peel off the leather and dig out your heart, peel off the leather and dig out

your heart,

Right before your very eyes

I slipped off the husk

I mastered the sleight

There’s a getaway car

That’s been waiting my whole life

The engine has been running since the moment I arrived

A trap door in the gallows let the charlatan out

Smoke and mirrors box him in

The rags and the bones were such a burden

That I though I’d collapse and only when I surrendered them

Did I find I had what it takes to burn myself at the stake

Did you smell a rat, did you smell a rat

Did you smell a rat, did you smell a rat

I had faked everything but my death

Across of the plane onto the shore

The strain on my back wasn’t there anymore

Wisdom teeth have replaced the fangs, wisdom teeth have replaced the fangs

I’ve been scalped, scalped, scalped

I’ve been knocked conscious and I still haven’t come around

There was so much trouble on my mind, all the time

Call on the ten thieves and tell them I’m ready

I looked up and the desert was everywhere

But insight comes through blackened eyes

I climbed a hill to dig a hole in the ground

Where I could bury the faithlessness and the evidence that I was ever actually

right

My skin was on too tight

I could not identify the body

Us snakes evolve

It’s what snakes do

I could not identify the body

Shed the fur and leave the womb

Peel off the leather and dig out your heart, peel off the leather and dig out

your heart

Peel off the leather and dig out your heart, peel off the leather and dig out

your heart
