lyrics

Time & time again,
I think of life now like a woods
where there cannot be space for all.
To save a pine, a birch should fall.
To drink, don’t overpour the cup.
One has to go for another to come up,
or you’ll find both your flowers dead,
replaced by insects in your head,
I am, I am.

But time & time again,
the mistake some of us make is thinking
we are smart enough to have it both ways.
We can cross the river and not pay.
But the thing that sits and never speaks
but rows and knows the boat will leak
laughs at you like he laughed at me
and takes you not across but far downstream.
I am, I am.

And you're a birthday deep with the dayshine.
From dusk to moonbreak, the dust of keepsakes.

Time & time again, I am. I am.
