Ausländer from Tooth by Tooth

Aren’t I, wasn’t I already there
I don’t know, anyways I didn’t care
My stomach was hungry and angry as hell
Maybe those harbours were empty as well
Otherwise, I was eyes, and I was hands
You were all legs and you kicked and you ran
Well I guess, wind at our backs and our fronts
That old tree didn’t shake, never moved once

Paralyzed, couldn’t I swallow my tongue
Heart and soul, marrowbone, polyglot run
Fever dream, zodiac, ocean and lake
Ugly and naked, I covered my face
Otherwise I was eyes, and I was hands
You were all legs and you kicked and you ran
Well I guess Boniface never came back,
I was so tired I slept in the grass

Hold tight, the time will come when all of this will come
To pass, the hardest stone will slowly turn to dust
Just wait, be silent now and sleep outside the gates
Those waves will roll until they wash away this place
