BRANCHES ROOTS AND FLOWERS


Climbing up her city walls.
Climbing up her city walls.


Climbing up her city walls,
what do I have to say to you?


Climbing up her city walls,
what do I have to say to you?


Let's dissect the waterfall
of consciousness where hope it's wrought.
The webs were hanged over our bed,
the careless dreams worn in our head.
An eight-armed nurse, a thousand eyes
rolling like dice to tumble dry.
A spider spinning bottles filled
with speaking tongues buried in pills.


I have too much on my hands.
I have too much on my hands.
I have too much on my hands.


Climbing up her city walls,
just another day to you.


Climbing up her city walls,
what is a slave to you?


Trading in the forest for a tree.
Lumbering the new and old we've known.
Seeing through their branches, roots, and flowers.
Collect ourself to carve a home for ours.


Unmoved moving sesame,
make light of things like gravity.
The barking bell mortality,
the honey from a stingless bee.


You put the death inside me,
so I put the death inside you


Climbing up her city walls.
Climbing up her city walls.
Climbing up her city walls.
Climbing up her city walls.
