lyrics

The more oatmeal I eat,
the grittier I get.
The hair upon my chest furrows down into a nest
where the crows keep their babies
and sit on their heads,
loving them lively
as soon as they are dead.

The more oatmeal I eat,
the skinnier I get.
The flesh upon my chest furrows down into a nest
where the crows keep their pebbles,
stone after stone,
tossing and grinding,
digesting the bone.

Churning and fixing with
hair from my head.
Powdered and sticky like
oatmeal and death.

Build a wall.
Build a wall.
Build a wall, honey.
Build a wall.
Build a wall.
Build a wall around my body.
