Deep in the Earth Lyrics - Maggie Rogers

1 Excuse me for a minute 'cause this won't be brief

2 I've been hiding these words under my tongue, protected

3 By the walls of my yellow-stained teeth

4 They've festered and broken and they've rearranged

5 They've misspelled themselves

6 And now they're leaking out of my brain

7 They say ashes to ashes and dust to dust

8 But my heart's made of metal and the clasp's rusted shut

9 'Cause you left it out in the rain

10 But if these are the last breaths

11 I'm breathing on earth then I pray to God

12 You remember me when my body is deep in the earth

13 My back's ached for years, carrying my heavy heart

14 It beats itself silly and pounds through the dark

15 Sustaining the life that lives within

16 And yet was so desperate to beat in time

17 It rang in your rhythm and mimicked your rhyme

18 You can't blame it for trying or clinging to love

19 But love's left my soul and I've forgotten love

20 And what's left is your smoky silhouette

21 But if these are the last breaths

22 I'm breathing on earth then I pray to God

23 You remember me when my body is deep in the earth
