When I Was Done Dying Lyrics - Gliss Riffer - Dan Deacon

When I was done dying, my conscience regained 

So I began my struggle, a nothingness strained 

Out a flash made of time, my new form blasted out 

And it startled me so and I burst out a shout 

At which my legs ran frantic like birds from a nest 

And I ran until drained, leaving no choice but rest 

So I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave 

But I should have gone in deeper but I'm not so brave 

And like that I was torn out and thrown in the sky 

And I said all my prayers because surely I'll die 

As I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt 

How my skin did explode, leaving only my shirt 

But from shirt grew a tree and then tree grew a fruit 

And I became the seed and that seed was a brute 

And I clawed through the ground with my roots and my leaves 

And I tore up the shirt and I ate up the sleeves 

And they laughed out at me and said "what is your plan?" 

But their question was foreign, I could not understand 

When then suddenly I'm ripped up and placed into a mouth 

And it swallowed me down at which time I head south

Well I woke up to see them, these two mighty steeds 

With their mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs 

As they stood there above me, being flanked on each side 

I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide 

So I reached up to touch but they faded too soon 

Yet their mouths still remained and stacked up towards the moon 

How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night 

And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight 

And I dreamt about climbing into the night sky 

But I knew had I touched them they'd mouth back "Bye-bye" 

So I got up and walked down the path in the dark 

And there deep in the distance my eye caught a spark 

Of a crab twice my size with incredible strength 

Oh, it greeted me kindly and then we all drank 

And we drooled out together right onto the ground 

And the ocean grew up quickly right up all around 

And the earth looked at me and said "Wasn't that fun?" 

And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone" 

And without even thinking cast me into space 

But before she did that she wiped off my own face 

She said better luck next time don't worry so much 

Without ears I couldn't hear I could just feel the touch 

As I feel asleep softly at the edge of a cave 

But I should have gone deeper but I'm not so brave 

I said hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya hey ya ya
