"Ancestors" lyrics

"Ancestors"

If we are not what we think we are
Then I would like to know, you know
It takes a lot to pretend
To keep on hiding from what's lurching off the ledge below

And I don't know what to do
But somewhere deep inside the ancestors are moving all my limbs
Go back

'Cause shadows in the grass
Provide respite for the bees
I couldn't see the outline of the forest from the leaves
Oh shadows of the heart
You take your violence out on me

And you can stop but you can't stare
Just keep in mind for when you're burning up the light
And keep your pass from the zodiac's eyes
Just in case the lines upon your hands are right

And I don't know what to do
But somewhere deep inside the ancestors are moving all my limbs
Go back

'Cause shadows in the grass
Provide respite for the bees
[?] find itself a place to sit and dream
Oh shadows of the heart
You take your violence out on me

And I cannot befriend all the rabble in my head
It won't be long till all the oxygen's been had
Oh shadows of the heart you work so tireless on me
