lyrics

Little cricket silent in the face of the morning sun
Hours paced like days along the lake
I was awake
You felt the jet lag

The world is on its back again
The shoelaces undone
Westbound all the evening sounds
You called, I was just crawling through a memory
I woke to poke a freckle on your big toe
Your image froze and faded in the sun glow
Leaving creases fleeting with the folds

How could we ever know
Sun onto the snow
Buried in the coal
Oh my canary crows
Slow color as he rose
Green in river groves
Yellow in the shivering she carries

Fixate on the tracing of a finger
Ten’s the sum
Seven eight nine oceans climb
Divine the plateaued flatlands when the water comes

Nettles on the grapevine
And needles in the thumb
Threaded dread in every ideation with a grain of speculation
I wrote a little note to you in my head
I shed a glance to plants along the seabed
So they are companions
What are we then

How could we ever know
Sun onto the snow
Buried in the coal
Oh my canary crows
Slow color as he rose
Green in river groves
Yellow in the shivering she carries home

Shaded etches in the stone
Wretched when dissected with a fine-tooth comb
They grow flesh along a bone
Easy eyes and blood to flow through all ten toes
A loan, a clever homophone
Taken only to return to isolate away
We dated on the phone
Parted like a head of hair too fair to wear a single braid
And drinking lemonade
Wagering a fable with the cards out on the table
And a stain since the second grade
Spades erase the highest heart
You mark the spot and restart at the

How could we ever know
Sun onto the snow
Buried in the coal
Oh my canary crows
Slow color as he rose
Green in river groves
Yellow in the shivering she carries home
How could we ever know
Sun onto the snow
Buried in the coal
Oh my canary crows
Slow color as he rose
Green in river groves
Yellow in the shivering she carries home
