letra de effigy of salt - maria mckee

what a way
what a way to go
what a fine and inexplicable way of going, this
what an uncanny visitation
taking me into the depths
and leaving me stranded

what a way
what a way to go
what a peculiar and exquisite way of going, this
like confetti [?] all along and all the way i go
and you will never know
just how far down i met you
and it’s all the way i go

just to look at you
one last look is all i take before i have to go
just to look at you
like an effigy of salt
i swept away, i sparkled forth
in diamond rays i fall forever
just to look at you

then it’s down, down, down i go
i hate the things i know
i wish i could retrace my steps
before i went down to sea
where i crept among the depths
crawling underneath
all alone and far too deep
every creature, every foundling, every horrid gaping mouth
just to look at you
one last look is all i take before i have to go
just to look at you
when the lexicon is emptied out
of every thought and every breath
there is no language left
but just to look at you
and it’s down, down, down i go

my beloved, my curse
how you reach me
open and you’ve heaped upon my hearth
and the many things that you’ve required of me
how they frighten and inspire me
the arch of your brow
the way everything’s laid out

just to look at you
one last look is all i take before i have to go
just to look at you
the honey of your skin, the heart-shape of your mouth
oh there i go again, i’m leaving out
just let me look at you

and it’s down, down, down i go
down, down, down i go
down, down, down i go
down, down, down i go
