Catacombs Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lark throated spit through beaks tonight
These gagging chirps were written in disguise
What's that sound? Caskets floating
Hey you, did you ever intend to sleep inside my tomb?
Would you ever pretend to kick from inside of this womb?
Hey you, did you ever attempt the excavation of these fossils?
And in case you haven't noticed, we're already dead
Already dead, dead, dead
[Chorus]
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
[Verse 2]
Pendulum swing through tantrum slits
This scalpel's graze untamed won't feel romantic
What's that sound? Caskets floating
In laymen's terms sewn by matrimony, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey you, did you ever intend to—
Hey you, did you ever intend to—
Hey you, did you ever intend to—
Hey you...
[Chorus]
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
Lark throated spit through beaks tonight
These gagging chirps were written in disguise
What's that sound? Caskets floating
Hey you, did you ever intend to sleep inside my tomb?
Would you ever pretend to kick from inside of this womb?
Hey you, did you ever attempt the excavation of these fossils?
And in case you haven't noticed, we're already dead
Already dead, dead, dead
[Chorus]
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
[Verse 2]
Pendulum swing through tantrum slits
This scalpel's graze untamed won't feel romantic
What's that sound? Caskets floating
In laymen's terms sewn by matrimony, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey you, did you ever intend to—
Hey you, did you ever intend to—
Hey you, did you ever intend to—
Hey you...
[Chorus]
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
[Outro]
What's that sound coming? Who can it be?
What's that sound I hear coming?
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
What's that sound coming? Who can it be?
What's that sound I hear coming?
This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage
