Checked Shroud Decay

Intro

Oh

Buried beneath

Verse 1

Braided wood rot

Twisted stems snap and buckle under mud

Sandwich baggies turn to sludge

Grey ants gnaw

Red ants rip

Black ants banquet

Pre-Chorus

Feed the hunger

Feed the swarm

Feed the soil

Chorus

Wicker cage for a shallow grave

Wicker cage for a shallow grave

Checkered shroud is soaking wet

Sunlight never found you

Sunlight never found you

Verse 2

Mustard stains the rigid chin

Ants have gathered at the hinges of the jaw

Fruit flies feast on sunken skin

I forgot the fork

I forgot the salt

I forgot the soul

Pre-Chorus

Feed the hunger

Feed the swarm

Feed the soil

Chorus

Wicker cage for a shallow grave

Wicker cage for a shallow grave

Checkered shroud is soaking wet

Sunlight never found you

Sunlight never found you

Bridge

Handle breaks

Lid flaps open

Juices leak through the gaps

Vultures smell the heavy hamper

Nature brings a plastic plate

Chorus

Wicker cage for a shallow grave

Wicker cage for a shallow grave

Checkered shroud is soaking wet

Sunlight never found you

Sunlight never found you
