New Song for David Berman by The Big Nest Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My body is dirty and I'm sinking
What’s left to deal with melt and shrinking
They're making stairways out of asphalt
Something tells me this is my fault

[Chorus 1]
My body is sinking in the desert
Beneath thousands of pounds of olden sands
They let me free beneath the inklings
Of what I am holding in my hand

[Verse 2]
My body is coast
Pelted by waves as I erode
You make the most
As I awake in bloody robes

[Verse 3]
My body is shrinking in the desert
Surrounded by suns absorb the heat
I am a victim of the weather
And stare as the asphalt melts my feet
[Verse 4]
Was that complacency this time?
Was that complacency this time?

[Chorus 2]
I am a ration of this victim
A time and a place of circumstance
What blood is flowing through the cistern
That is now left to be at chance
