about
a song about cycles
lyrics
Along the ground the saplings
Look up to their elders
Who look down as if to say
You can be like me someday
And we pulled em by the roots
Just lookin for somethin to chew
They held our bonnes in cradle arms
While their fingers tickled our lungs
And at night we spun our yarns
Beside primitive crematoriums
And there ain't no why or how
We were then and they are now
Over time the carbon
Holding up my body
And all its memories
Brilliant thoughts and feeble dreams
Get sucked up by the roots
And thrown into the sky so blue
And the teeth upon the saw
Are decayed and they're rotted
And our temples and our time
Have crumbled and spotted
And there ain't no why or how
We were then and they are now
