If I ran to the house where the tiger butterfly swam to, would I be out of my mind? Well, that’s where I sleep and that’s where we meet My calloused finger tips trace the veins of your secrets We metamorphosise in cycles, always reborn and recycled And despite the growing pain I would do it again Shedding our dry dragon scales as we amass legends and tales And despite the moving pain I would do it again and again Infinitely again and again I’m crawling and squirming, I’m having a blast Away from everything that was holding me back One day you’ll know how the silt and the smoke spread all over me If I ran to the hill where the tiger butterfly swam to, Would I be out of my mind? We placed his ashes next to hers And then they alchemized and turned They alchemized and turned They alchemized and turned I’m crawling and squirming, I’m having a blast Away from everything that was holding me back One day you’ll know how the silt and the smoke spread all over me I’m crawling and squirming, I’m having a blast Away from everything that was holding me back One day you’ll know how the silt and the smoke spread all over me

The waves engraved beneath the boulders that you’re buried under Eternal flames that blast their rays at our unknown futures You stared at the curves of the water on my wooden mask That I tied behind my head on a pillow of a tangled mess Lying down on beds of storms of uncertainty, pouring out a lack of clarity I closed the tides of my eyes to feel you watch me sleeping We’re a flock of cranes, always in the clouds Looking for the lunar eclipse, constantly constructing An army of oral histories, with the weapons of our enemies To reincarnate them into our comrades I closed the tides of my eyes to feel you watch me sleeping Catching sparks of inspiration like fireflies With sticky sharpies on backs of torn cardboard packaging The perfect insurrection fire starter for starters We’re always in the stars, we’re constantly deconstructing I closed the tides of my eyes to feel you watch me sleeping The waves engraved beneath the boulders that you’re buried under Eternal flames that blast their rays at our unknown futures

Can you see the metal dragons flying around the midnight periphery Of your young ocean memories And the dirt of the land that you inhaled From which your summer saplings wailed And grew into a name you never failed To carry I was seeking for the corners where you hide to sing to you inside And follow the fallen petals that lead us to your guides You had never met them before in your life Til you listened for the forest tides And all the tree creatures that sang along Twin flowers sprouting in knots Intertwining in cycles Around the softest stone This season I’ll change my ways Cause we’re stuck with the blooming flame That’ll burn us to the bone But we’ll learn to embrace it Can you see the metal dragons flying around the midnight periphery Of your young ocean memories And the dirt of the land that you inhaled From which your summer saplings wailed And grew into a name you never failed To carry You grew into a name you never failed To carry

Everywhere I turn my knotted back I feel your scissors clipping at The bottom of the juniper tree Where you spend the years with the fallen berries Shards of shredded skin decomposing through acid rain and city drains On gum drenched side walks cherry blossom petals melt and I see you slipping Underwater, secret passage, bits of plastic in my pockets Holding onto safety wishes for this liquid journey I’ve agreed to embark on How long should I wait The medium told me that you want me back I am a peninsula of my own There’s a part of us that will always stay tied Palindromes and anagrams of your essence on restaurant signs I pass by On my midnight bus ride home A line of divers, matriarchal, piecing back the power puzzle Gasping for the oceans of my mother The kelp and algae have made it known How long should I wait The medium told me that you want me back I am a peninsula of my own There’s a part of us that will always stay tied I am a peninsula of my own There’s a part of us that will always stay tied

My blood stained sheets turn pink As I start to sink into The deep, deep textiles Im drowning in dreams Where we promised to meet But you’ve been gone for a while You've been gone, you've been gone You've been gone for a while Pinecones and seashells A mountain spirit out to sea Talismans buried in your skin cells We’re trapped inside different realities Maybe I’ll see you in the next life We don’t have to feel so blue That we miss out on what’s really floating around The sun knocks on my window The cat scratches my door Nicotine withdrawal shakes my achey bones As I hold onto this ocean floor I hold on, I ground myself I ground myself with this ocean floor Pinecones and seashells A mountain spirit out to sea Talismans buried in your skin cells We’re trapped inside different realities Maybe I’ll see you in the next life We don’t have to feel so blue That we miss out on what’s really floating around We’re diving in I’m believing in something more They can’t take away our laughter They can’t take away our shore We’re diving in I’m believing in something more They can’t take away our laughter They can’t take away our shore Pinecones and seashells A mountain spirit out to sea Talismans buried in your skin cells We’re trapped inside different realities Maybe I’ll see you in the next life We don’t have to feel so blue That we miss out on what’s really floating around Pinecones and seashells A mountain spirit out to sea Talismans buried in your skin cells We’re trapped inside different realities Maybe I’ll see you in the next life We don’t have to feel so blue That we miss out on what’s really floating around on what’s really floating around
