Maggie Rogers – Deep In The Earth lyrics
[Verse 1]
Excuse me for a minute
'Cause this won't be brief
I've been hiding these words
Under my tongue, protected
By the walls of my yellow-stained teeth

[Verse 2]
They've festered and broken
And they've rearranged
They've misspelled themselves
And now they're leaking out of my brain

[Verse 3]
They say ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
But my heart's made of metal
And the clasp's rusted shut
'Cause you left it out in the rain

[Chorus 1]
And if these are the last breaths
I'm breathing on Earth
Then I pray to God
You remember me when
My body is deep in the Earth

[Verse 4]
My back's ached for years
Carrying my heavy heart
It beats itself silly
And pounds through the dark
Sustaining a life that lives within

[Verse 5]
And yet was so desperate
To beat in time
It rang in your rhythm
And mimicked your rhyme

[Verse 6]
You can't blame it for trying
Or clinging to love
But love's left my soul
And I've forgotten love
And what's left is your smoky silhouette

[Chorus 2]
But if these are the last breaths
I'm breathing on Earth
Then I pray to God
You remember me
When my body is deep in the Earth

[Chorus 3]
These are the last breaths
I'm breathing on Earth
Then I pray to God
You remember me
When my body is deep in the Earth
