lyrics
TELL TIME GOODBYE FOR ME / UP UP UP
This won't take any time.
Willows whisper in riddles, in rhymes.
I will give up my time.
I will give you my time.
For days, we would weep.
With the trees, cry our leaves out.
She said, can we still remain friends?
And merely death's a wet mirror,
sinking her white picket crucifix teeth
along the glowing veins of streets.
This won't take any time.
Insane, how the heart,
she can splinter like prisms.
For days we would weep.
With the trees, cry our leaves out.
She said, can we still remain friends?
Up, up, up. She will take me
to the mountaintop. And together can we
stop these clocks? At the top of our lungs,
and of my bottomless heart, that blue umbrella
with the secret sword we drew to defy her
but let's just give up. Turn me up a knotch.
Tree by tree, my lover leaves me hanging up, up, up.
DAS - Detroit, Michigan, USA
