[length: 04:38]
[00:04.23]Hello, everyone
[00:14.27]The greener grass grows where the wildfires fertilize
[00:18.96]With ashes of sparrows, peppered moths, and butterflies
[00:23.55]Ghosts of trees and termites bloom in the beanstalk
[00:32.11]And you get light-headed when standing too fast
[00:36.47]Is it from shaking out the weight of phosphenes and pasts, salt deposits
[00:42.51]And warm little rivers, then burst from our words
[00:49.59]And God knows, crying ain’t gonna change a thing
[00:59.27]She said, “Take care”
[01:01.28]But I take more than I bring
[01:07.38]She said, “It just feels inhumane to lose this much”
[01:17.02]”‘Cause when you leave, you know, you take more than your love”
[01:25.92]Just one week of cicada days, we’re losing touch
[01:35.37]And I know, it just feels inhumane to lose this much
[01:50.16]Our nerves were braided under ceiling stars
[01:53.84]That were all glow-in-the-dark
[01:56.56]Hanging over queen-sized purple waves of ancient chemicals, just whisper
[02:12.31]And did you ever build with those endangered bones?
[02:16.96]Well, the ground looks soft enough to bury this, now
[02:23.18]Oh-oh, please
[02:26.27]Oh, no!
[02:30.26]And then my sponsor said, “Do nothing, nothing works”
[02:36.84](And I really did)
[02:39.14]And then my doctor said, “Don’t do that if it hurts”
[02:47.90]She said, “It just feels inhumane to lose this much”
[02:57.18]”‘Cause when you leave, you know, you take more than your love”
[03:06.14]The seasons of cicada days, we can’t make up
[03:14.69]And I know, it just feels inhumane to lose this much!
[03:22.64]Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
[03:24.39]Let all my red flags fade to white, yeah, I give up
[03:32.21]So, don’t let me leave
[03:34.26]I’ll only take more than I gave, okay, I’ll pack my stuff
[03:42.16]Here at the end of days, my God, what have I done?
[03:50.06]Christ, now, it feels damn inhumane to get all I’ve dreamed of
[03:59.72]Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
[04:06.95]Keep coming back, it works if you work it
[04:11.04]So work it, you’re worth it, it won’t if you don’t
[04:15.12]One day at a time, tomorrow’s too late, amen
