Lyrics
[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar with alternating bass notes] [Verse 1] [male humming enters, doubling the guitar melody] Asphalt swamp Swallowing all your surroundings Dragging the dirt Made you the one in front As it slowly swallows [Chorus] [vocalizations shift to open "ah" sounds] Asphalt swamp [arpeggiated guitar chords] Ah-ah-ah-ah [Bridge] [guitar solo with rapid fingerpicking and percussive string slaps] [vocals drop out] [Verse 2] [humming returns, lower register] Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm [guitar plays descending bass line] Earth returning To its appetite We all feed What we starved For our own greed [Chorus] [vocalizations shift to open "ah" sounds] Asphalt swamp [arpeggiated guitar chords] Ah-ah-ah-ah [Outro] [vocalizations fade to soft humming] Mmm-mmm-mmm [final acoustic guitar chord rings out]
