lyrics

Sun is lemonade
Dirty worms are dancing through the shade of the tree top fade
Ain’t ya glad we scrapped our plans and stayed?
Daddy doesn’t know what he’s missing strapped to that radio
Though it calms my tangled tongue
My brains itch and my legs would rather run

Would rather press stone
Would rather leave the folded grass to explore the brandless bushes on my own
Would rather chew gum
Would rather break the skin, or bruise to bone
Or dance along to the Almighty Overtone

Step and touch away
Life is short, at least that’s what they say
Splash of color stemmed in grey
Hands raised with a “Hey, Nana! Look what I did!”

Is it too cold, is it too deep?
Will the rising water overflow and sweep her off her feet?
Have I taught her all the ways to fight the fiends she’s gonna meet
Along the way?
Am I just the breathing in?
Am I hoarding every drop of hope like sweat beneath the skin?
Did I bleed myself away at the peril of my kin?

Summer cradles tree
“Little Sylvie, play where I can see!”
Were it up to me, I would trade the world to keep you free
Show me swing and sway
Show me wonder roughing up polished day
I’m buried ten-feet deep, I’m cluttered love with no relief

But you are old renegades
You are stillness made of chi
You are everything my hunger wants to be
I never took love
I watched it sputter, grow, reach, slink away
But as you play, I think “God damnit, look what I did.”

Would you look what I did
