lyrics

Trapped outside
Try to discover a beautiful thing
Walked through the field
Down the stairs
Kissed all the ladies of valley ravines
To pollinate me

On the pool
Lone water strider skates up to my ear
Wants me to hear
Ask his name
He sings the most beautiful lyrics to me
Puts me to sleep

Now the earth isn’t humming again
Eden’s off the air, fruits off the tree
Is it me?
Have I discovered the terrible you
What can we do

I stared into the earths eyes
And breathed into its lungs
I watched the blue and red begin to ripple through its veins
Honey waves of shivers scattered sharp across its chest
Grass eaters ski the glade to escape
Swallows scattered with hummingbird colors
Paradise flycatching heavy petal bloomers
Pineapple rain blasting paint ear to ear
Everything died and was living at once in the sun

I woke up
Back in the city of fern, felt the grass
Raise with my arms
Water strider
Told me I should take it personally
it’s all for me
