作曲:头条梦三
作词:头条梦三
Moonless mud on my ankles
Mangrove roots like crooked hands
Something hums in the black water
Calling me back
Calling me back
Torchlight drowns in the branches
Eyes like coals in the leaves
Name of an old forgotten goddess
Rises up out of my teeth
Jungle teeth
They taste my fear
I walk
They draw me near
Step by step
I disappear
Into the mouth of a song I hear
Jungle teeth
They mark my skin
I breathe the darkness in
Round and round the shadows spin
I am outside
I am within
Gold masks hang from the fig tree
Cracked lips stained with rust
Wind threads through the bone flutes
Whispers my name in the dust
Children carved in the bark line
Hands pressed over their eyes
Every drumbeat
Every footfall
Shakes loose another lie
Jungle teeth
They taste my fear
I walk
They draw me near
Step by step
I disappear
Into the mouth of a song I hear
Jungle teeth
They mark my skin
I breathe the darkness in
Round and round the shadows spin
I am outside
I am within
Who remembers first blood
Who remembers first fire
Who remembers that word
Burned under the tongue like a brand
I go under
Under
Under
I come home
I go under
Under
Under
I am stone
I go under
Under
Under
I am known
I go under
Under
Under
I am your own
Jungle teeth
They taste my fear
I walk
They draw me near
Step by step
I disappear
Into the mouth of a song I hear
Jungle teeth
They mark my skin
I breathe the darkness in
Round and round the shadows spin
I am outside
I am within
