Of the sky foaming at the mouth

This is the sound that I choose to make, now

This is the sound that I choose to make

Surrounded with tools and

No longer suitable for carving faces

Swinging down, through the air

Like a branch, through the air

Until my basic human bones

Are like a hammer, like a hammer on a semi-precious stone

This is the sound

Of the sky foaming at the mouth

Am C G Am
