Arca - Quicksand lyrics

[Verse 1] Define her abyss Show it respect Then a celestial nest Will grow above [Pre-Chorus 1] When I'm broken, I am whole And when I'm whole, I'm broken [Chorus] Our mother's philosophy It feels like quicksand And if she sinks I'm going down with her [Verse 2] Locate her black lake The steam from this pit Will form a cloud For her to live on [Pre-Chorus 2] When she's broken, she is whole And when she's whole, she's broken [Chorus] Our mother's philosophy It feels like quicksand And if she sinks I'm going down with her [Verse 3] Hackle this darkness Up to the light Where choreographed oxygen Embroiders the air [Pre-Chorus 3] When we're broken we are whole And when we're whole we're broken [Outro] We are the siblings of the sun Let's step into this beam Every time you give up You take away our future And my continuity and my daughter's And her daughters And her daughters
