Ethel Cain
Colossus
[Verse 1]
Mother matron of the morning time
Ebb and flow as the sun will rise
Colossal gods run the expanses
Pulling you in with their dark black tide

[Chorus]
I am not as small as I believe I am
I am God to your mother, I am mother of man
Command your ancestors, hold their heads in my hand
I won't swim in your ocean
Colossus, I can't

[Post-Chorus]
[Vocalization]

[Verse 2]
Tell me you love me and light me on fire
Fuck me to death on my funeral pyre
I'll become your rock
I can't feel your love
Is this the abyss that your god speaks of?

[Chorus]
I am not as small as you think I am
I am God to your mother, I am mother of man
Command your ancestors through no slight of hand
I won't swim in your ocean
Colossus, I can't
You are not as small as you think you are
You throw yourself into my waters but you won't go far
I am not the one you wanted but I'm all you have
I'm your only saving grace in this colossal black
[Bridge]
Lose your conscience, your purity
Give up your body and give it to me
Lose your religion, lose your soul
Give me your life, give me it whole
Lose your conscience, your purity
Give up your body and give it to me
Lose your religion, lose your soul
Give me your life, give me it whole
Lose your conscience, your purity
(I can't swim this anymore)
Give up your body and give it to me
Lose your religion, lose your soul
(I can give you nothing more)
Give me your life, give me it whole
Lose your conscience, your purity
(I can't swim this anymore)
Give up your body and give it to me
Lose your religion, lose your soul
(I can give you nothing more)
Give me your life, give me it whole

[Chorus]
I am not as small as I believe I am
I am God to your mother, I am mother of man
Command your ancestors, hold their heads in my hand
I won't swim in your ocean
Colossus, I can't
You are not as small as you believe you are
You throw yourself into my waters but you won't go far
I am not the one you wanted but I'm all you have
I'm your only saving grace in this colossal black
