WITHER AND WARP Songtext
von Pharmakon

As rotting matter
I will make
A good mother
Wet nurse
To carrion feeders
Suckling
From my wither and warp
Memories metabolized
Into carbon and nitrogen
Identity absorbed
And transformed
...from the consumer
To the consumed
...from predator
Into producer
Render me
Into
A harmless
Substance
DISSOLVED INTO OBLIVION


ABSOLVED OF MY PERSONAGE
A bearing
Without labor
Lay me
Three and a half feet deep
Where detritivores can reach
Place a palmful
Of seed
In my mouth
Water me well
Watch them sprout
I don′t want
To be locked away
From the earth's
Cold embrace
I will become
A giver to life
Only
From under
The ground
In time
Mycelium
My midwives
Broken reduced and liquefied
I don′t want
To be locked away
From the earth's
COLD EMBRACE
