Vessel Lyrics

Luster so sheen it pulls you in frets on the harpoons
it moves, it moves around you
Sickle the cells of our pains grow in deeper in the stains of our youth
our youth imbued
Grass comes in through the tongues of the sorry words we sprung on you
on you it fuels

And it surrounds everything
And it surrounds all your dreams
And it will take you to fears you never knew

Running sycophants all our limbs attaches us on as if we have no use,
no use to let it through
Pick up the wires of our sins, filter them into our benign truths, it fools it fumbles in tune

And it surrounds everything
And it surrounds all your dreams
and it will take you to fears you never knew

And it settles in, settles in
settles in until you forget everything
and it white wash into your skin
And you won't remember now.

Even after listening to a ton of live recordings I can't make out all of what she's saying, but these are the lines I'm pretty sure about (with brackets around the things I'm only guessing at):

[...] pulls you in [...] the [harpoon] evolves, evolves around you

Sicker the cells of our pain Falling deeper, deep the stains of [our youth]

Past comes in through the [dusk] I'm sorry words we spoke of you

And it surrounds everything And it surrounds all your [friends] And it will take you to a place you never knew

[...] of our names [...] [...] as if we had no use, no use to live

[...] of our sin [...] are we not [though]? Walls crumbles into

And it surrounds everything And it surrounds all your [friends] And it will take you to a place you never knew

[Set us free, set us free, set us until you forget everything] and then why won't you [stay]-- You won't remember, no, no, you won't remember
