With fixtures fracture varyingly

The juice of dark cherries cover my skin

Six years in, no baby

Everything eats and is eaten

[Verse 3]

Ingydar bares a scar like a meteor

Crystalline amber guilds her cheek

The juice of dark cherries cover her chin

The dog walks in and the crow lies in his smile like lead

[Chorus]

Everything eats and is eaten, time is fed

Everything eats and is eaten

Everything eats and is eaten

Everything eats and is eaten

Everything eats and is eaten

Everything eats and is eaten
