lyrics

Closing out
Capping off
The jingle of keys
The sweet release
A jutting bone

And here in my palm
Is a piece and a light
The ticket price
Of an easy mind
A nail of light
Pierced the heel of night
Through ceremonial tropes

Leaves an empty tomb
The size of a baby tooth
Bleeding in strobes
A crying fire that swallowed it all
Before it finally choked

Well, if there was nothing before
Maybe there will be nothing after
So you can laugh until you're sore
Pure Destroyer
Yeah, if there was nothing before
Maybe there will be nothing after
Laugh until you're sore
Pure Destroyer
Natural Disaster

Can you remember before
You were ever born?
Did you gather the dust
That synchronized to form
That body you wear
That keeps growing hair
Where you didn't tell it to?

Like a thurible swings
Past a crowd
The pendulum fixed
Yet the scent surrounds
With a mind of it's own
And no beliefs to prove
No sanctity to uphold

Except the very kind
Which can't be denied
And can't be bestowed
To live and die
Struggle and strive
Carve and erode

If there was nothing before
Maybe there will be nothing after
So you can laugh until you're sore
Pure Destroyer
If there was nothing before
Maybe there will be nothing after
Laugh until you're sore
Pure Destroyer
Natural Disaster

The street light is on
For the first night in months
Through my glasses it reached
Like a Rising Sun
But then it flickered out
Like faith in doubt
Like the words on my tongue

I'll just lay on the couch
Stare at the ceiling
And talk to no one

Swallow these pills
Get these prescriptions filled
And get back to work

And if there was nothing before
Probably there will be nothing after
So you can sleep until you're sore
Pure Destroyer
Oh if there was nothing before
There won't be nothing after
Laugh until you're sore
Pure Destroyer
Natural Disaster
