lyrics

In the morning I leave my curtains drawn
Because I don’t want to see their sidewalks or their twisted electric sun
It’s been too long since I felt the grass beneath my feet
Or felt the natural soil and not these crooked streets

Goodbye trash. Goodbye lust.I’m gonna dig myself out and then I’m gonna start again.

While we were staring at each other I said, “I feel so much smaller than before.”

On a wilted blade of grass I was a ladybug tired and sure
And while I was reaching for the clouds you were a falcon
Circling high above my tired head you held me, and you sang.
Your bloodshot lullabies all coming down like summer rain.

Angel hair draping her face:
Sing me out of the forest again.

Can I just back up my life?
Can I just back up my mind?

Things are not ever what they seem to be
Like grown men acting out childhood fantasies
Or the way children dress up in adult clothes and pretend
I never thought I’d see your face again

Can I just back up my life?

Can I just back up my mind?
