Eardrum Drift (Extended 1)

Intro

Taste of iodine on my fractured tongue

Lights flicker out, every nerve come undone

Slide through the murk, I'm caught in the drain

Velvet bag on my head—never waking again

Hook

Buzzing static in the bone (bone)

Spirals pull me from my home (home)

Frozen grin and stolen blood

Slipstream rolling through the mud

Verse 0

First chill on the tile, feel the world slow

Fangs in my arm — here comes the flow

Crowded faces with a needle and chart

Drifting away while they pick me apart

Faces blur, I float on the tile

Feeling the burn of chemical guile

Grave-trippers grin, prepping my ride

Eardrum leaking honey from the inside

Verse 1

Shrouded in cold, I feel hands on my chest

Eyes cracked open to mortuary jest

Hear the suck—my eardrum gone, pulled through

Blood runs backward, reboot into new

See the white gloves, smell ammonia in the drag

Limbs are jelly, shiver under the flag

I watch 'em drain veins, memories recoil

Soul stuck buzzing in embalmer oil

Pre-Chorus

Slip from the slab to the casket in line

Amped for the drop as they screw in the pine

Everything’s sharp, body turns thick

Riding honey waves—psychedelic and sick

Chorus

Eardrum screaming as I go down slow

Air canoe rides in the undertow

Everything’s burning, honey drip inside

Face in the pine, can’t run can’t hide

Post-Chorus

Falling deeper, feel it stick (stick)

Bodies honey, minds go slick (slick)

Verse 2

Hands in black suits stitch me shut tight

I smell the rot, still swim through the night

Every drop taken, I remember each drip

Death on repeat, can’t let it slip

Pre-Chorus

I feel every cut, every bruise, every saw

Lying in the ground, gnaw on the raw

My orb, my mind, they circle around

Knowing too much, six feet underground

Chorus

Eardrum screaming as I go down slow

Air canoe rides in the undertow

Everything’s burning, honey drip inside

Face in the pine, can’t run can’t hide

Post-Chorus

Falling deeper, feel it stick (stick)

Bodies honey, minds go slick (slick)

Bridge

Honey pools leaking through fractured ground

Vision spins—casket crowd, no sound

Swarms in my skull claw and bite

Layin' dead awake under funereal light

Verse 3

My teeth splinter loose, worms writing their script

Gasoline memories—all burnt, all tipped

Stuck in the honey, I’m melting inside

Death’s just a cycle, I’m forced to ride

I feel flies in my ear, wings tangled in pain

Drip out the honey-brain, fail to explain

I rot and replay what the mourners won’t see

Never done rotting, just stuck being me

Pre-Chorus

The orb that I am, watching mind decompose

Tangled in death while the memory grows

Sinking and knowing, no secrets to keep

Drained to my core, too awake for this sleep

Chorus

Eardrum screaming as I go down slow

Air canoe rides in the undertow

Everything’s burning, honey drip inside

Face in the pine, can’t run can’t hide

Post-Chorus

Falling deeper, feel it stick (stick)

Bodies honey, minds go slick (slick)

Outro

Nails click on my pine, eyes crawl inside

Their voices like syrup, oozing cold, can’t hide

Mind caves in, honey rain so slow

Another death scene rolling, never let it go

Orbs flicker weak, all that’s left is the rot

Taste every replay, mercy forgot

Dragging my soul through this sticky decline

Rest comes in drips, and none of it’s mine

Hook

Stuck on the ride, can’t scratch free (free)

Honey-brain tremors eternally (eternally)

Cycle through pain, the grave’s deep song

Forever awake where the broken belong
