Rebury Me
Pond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Yeah whatever] put me back in my hole
Shovel dirt on my chest
I want the roots through my skull
Let the embryo rest
Straight from the womb to the grave

Rebury me where everything is dark
Where everything is just how it ought to be
Covering me sleeping underneath
Needing only peace from light

I think I'm going to be sick
I blew my heart in my hand
I wiped my hand on my pants
I put my head on a stick

Straight from the womb to the grave

Rebury me where everything is dark
Where everything is just as it ought to be
Covering me sleeping underneath
Needing only peace from light

I'm like a little white worm
That crawled out of the peat
I need the cool of the earth




To drain my living heat
Straight from the womb to the grave
