Quiet Mongrel Caught In A Forest Fire

lyrics

A quiet mongrel caught in a forest fire
A quiet mongrel caught in a forest fire
Dripping thick muddy fluids
Oozing from it's belly
Bloodless fractures
In from the stomach, glide right through
Rapid stream on a paved downhill
Gyrating lifeless, nearing the thrum
Throbbing lungs, pant and gasp
A quiet mongrel
Oozing from it's belly
In from the stomach, out through the backbone
Tufts of fur on the tips of the branches
Composing a colossal arch
The waters here are acrid
The food here is rotten
A pile of carrion

"And that's when I knew I had to leave
I dragged myself forwards,
My body bruised, my palms and soles covered in ulcers
Blood and shit clinging to my skin like a reeking coating
Light ached, I felt irrelevant
Towing a bag which contents I'd rather not speak of
Past the occasional piles of carrion, my thoughts drowned to the thrum of Darwin Falls in the distance"
