lyrics

although birthed unto this earth
desolation was facing me.
i had grander sights
than even i could see.

o, the child will move the mountains forth.
hesitate to be the ones we swore.

tried to regrow the forest
wrestled all of the soil that i fear,
in good faith,
criticize my critical ear.

hop a ship, escape the world by sea.
confuse seductive siren songs for pleas.

oo.

take me back to Appalachia,
tell the rain to go quiet the seas,
let my body make decisions
that undoubtedly don’t fit with me.

you know i won’t stop producing
until they put me in the ground,
and even afterwards
my cells will keep rolling around.

bird and beast befriend me on the shore,
they whisper softened secrets to their Lord.

child will shake a fist at civil doors,
wishin for a life that means something more.

oo.

i am from seattle but live in new york city.
