Will Wood - Cicada Days lyrics
[Will Wood - Cicada Days lyrics]
The greener grass grows where
The wildfires fertilize
With ashes of sparrows, peppered moths
& butterflies
Ghosts of trees and termites
Bloom in the beanstalk
And if you get lightheaded
When standing too fast
Is it from shaking out the
Weight of phosphenes and pasts
Salt deposit's on warm little rivers
That burst from our words
And God knows crying ain't
Gonna change a thing
She said take care
But I take more than I bring
She said "It just feels inhumane
To lose this much."
'Cause when you leave you know you
Takе more than your love
Just one week of cicada days
Wе're losing touch
And I know it just feels
Inhumane to lose this much
Our nerves were braided under ceiling stars
That were all glow in the dark
Hanging over queen-sized
Purple waves of ancient
Chemicals just whisper
Did you ever build with
Those endangered bones?
Well, the ground looks soft enough
To bury this now
Oh, please, oh no!
And then my sponsor said
"Do nothing. Nothing works."
And then my doctor said "Don't
Do that if it hurts."
She said "It just feels inhumane
To lose this much
'Cause when you leave you know you
Take more than your love."
The seasons of cicada days, we can't make up
And I know it just feels
Inhumane to lose this much
Let all my red flags fade to white, yeah
I give up
Don't let me leave
I'll only take more than I gave
Okay, I'll pack my stuff
Here at the end of days, my god
What have I done?
Christ, now it feels damn inhumane to
Get all I've dreamed of
Keep coming back, it works if you work it
So work it, you're worth it
It won't if you don't
One day at a time, tomorrow's too late, amen
The wildfires fertilize
With ashes of sparrows, peppered moths
& butterflies
Ghosts of trees and termites
Bloom in the beanstalk
And if you get lightheaded
When standing too fast
Is it from shaking out the
Weight of phosphenes and pasts
Salt deposit's on warm little rivers
That burst from our words
And God knows crying ain't
Gonna change a thing
She said take care
But I take more than I bring
She said "It just feels inhumane
To lose this much."
'Cause when you leave you know you
Takе more than your love
Just one week of cicada days
Wе're losing touch
And I know it just feels
Inhumane to lose this much
Our nerves were braided under ceiling stars
That were all glow in the dark
Hanging over queen-sized
Purple waves of ancient
Chemicals just whisper
Did you ever build with
Those endangered bones?
