"Scatter Me!" lyrics

Draw me and quarter me
Then dice up all four pieces
Just to break them into sanguine constellations

Decimate my body past Euclidean geometry
And hand the junk to all my past relations

Cause I wanna be a poet
And I wanna be a king
And I wanna be absolutely fucking everything
I want them cognizant of my existence while they are soundly sleeping
A woah ho

I want a machina ex deus while I cold read on a dias
And the demons in the audience start weeping

But there's only so much time in each day
To get not shit at something and much less to be okay

So scatter me
Scatter me
And I will oversee the pulpit and the choir and the narthex altogether
A woah ho

Scatter me
Scatter me
And like a worm from the sum of my pieces
I will grow back better

Yesterday, I doused myself in gasoline
It was an accident, I swear, though unconvincing
I saw the mirror of myself wearing a flame-wreathed leather belt
Flesh sloughing off in
Like a Salvador Dali painting

I want to live
I want to live
I really fucking want to live
And I am terrified of burning things that I just started building

I wailed as I went for the spark that would end my existence
But that spark it never came
Along with thrill and love and fame
Because I thought that monotony would save me

Oh yesterday
All my demons snacked on canapes
Topped with every risk I didn't take
Oh, I am stuck in yesterday
Oh, I'm so stuck in yesterday

So scatter me
Scatter me
And I will oversee the pulpit and the choir and the narthex altogether
A woah ho

Scatter me
Scatter me
And like a worm from the sum of my pieces
I will grow back better

So scatter me
Scatter me
And I will oversee the pulpit and the choir and the narthex altogether
A woah ho ho oh

Scatter me
Scatter me
And like a worm from the sum of my pieces
I will grow back better
