i hold the mountain very deep inside myself
^^
i swallowed the mountain whole and held it inside myself
i take all my precious things and hold them inside me
in my warm wet
the bowels of the mountain are the deepest darkest dampest place
this is the place where i can keep it all safe
everything i love is inside meo mountain
i am learning to live in the silent days
i am making my body ready for when all the land is dead
i swallowed it all inside me everything,
everything i love is gone
o mountain
are you holding it
