lyrics

grieve now
so the burn doesn’t spread
grieve now
even though no one is dead
be thankful
you grew in ways you were never promised
dont be spiteful
or maybe be
maybe be
all the vileness within you from the moment of
its out its out
no need to fester no more
if im a child cause i dared to foster anger
for one second
get out get out
if it dwells
you know its a spell
theres more to the brain
of a wishing well

and maybe the thoughts that you really think
are deeper in complexity
and maybe the things that you wonder about
are really worth forgetting
and maybe the things that you wish had happened
weren’t supposed to be
you were destined not for land
but for sea
pour me another glass of skullcap basil tea
destined not for land but for sea
destined not for land but for the fingers of the circuitry
destined for the glow of a screen

sleep now
youve been staying up since 5am again
sleep now
see the morning. see how positive the day feels then
say hello to the girlfriend over the border
you’re desperately working to try to see
listen to how she admires you
you’re everything that she’s ever dreamed
let that be your focus
let it grow you into grey hairs softly
sit down once in a while
maybe try one sip of this coffee and
find the peace in these new surroundings
never flatter, never wider
never softer, never lighter
never rougher, never kinder
lay down onto the deck on your ship
footsteps on all sides
let her find you and lay next to you
and rediscover the clearness of the sky

and maybe the thoughts that you really think
are deeper in complexity
and maybe the things that you wonder about
are really worth forgetting
and maybe the things that you wish had happened
weren’t supposed to be
you were destined not for land
but for sea
pour me another glass of skullcap basil tea






take that step
face the world awoken
take that next step
its been spoken
keep taking more steps
now the world gets to turn over at the speed of your feet
take a step up
and another step up
now your somewhere higher than
the gullet of the street
and maybe you can stay up there
maybe you fall back down
maybe you break a foot on the way
and have to just hop around
maybe someone builds an elevator
especially for you
maybe you become a roller skater
put that one good foot to use
all you know is that when you stop
you’ll look around and notice
that you’ve since waltzed into another country’s borders
and maybe you want to exit
but theres no way that you can
one day the walls will crumble
but for now you exist in the place you stand

and maybe the thoughts that you really think
are deeper in complexity
and maybe the things that you wonder about
are really worth forgetting
and maybe the things that you wish had happened
weren’t supposed to be
you were destined not for land
but for sea
pour me another glass of skullcap basil tea
