Lyrics (unofficial)

I followed you
To the ends of this earth
Where the hollow go
Before their god
I swallowed your words
That I overheard
In a shallow slumber
Your number just came up

I call your name
It's bizarre and profane
What do you gain
From any of this
I stand by your side
Like the land that you ride
Inside, we are the same

Ohh we're going under now
Ohh we're knowing wonder now
Low and sweet
We're breathing

I am inverse
I'm the best and the worst
I'd burst before I let you in
You are reverse
Cursing your fortune
Before soon
Must be mercy

Ohh we're going under now
Ohh we're knowing wonder now
Low and sweet
We're breathing

[a round of multiple voices]
I followed you
To the ends of this earth
Where the hollow go
Before their god
I swallowed your words
That I overheard
In a shallow slumber
Your number just came up
