Sea Cucumber — Gut It

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You want what's inside me? Here — take it all
I'll throw my own insides at the wall
sticky and poison, they'll tangle you up
while I crawl away empty and alive enough

[Chorus]
Gut it, gut it
I'll empty myself to survive
and I'll grow it all back
'cause an empty thing can still be alive

[Verse 2]
Five weeks later I'm whole again
new gut, new gear, like it never happened
you got a mouthful of toxic thread
and I got to live — I just gut it instead

[Bridge]
It's not surrender, it's strategy —
I decide what I keep and what I leave
the soft genius of the disemboweled:
give them the inside, keep the soul

[Chorus]
Gut it, gut it
an empty thing can still be alive
