lyrics

STANDING PEOPLE TREES

Living all my life in america
riding down a road that is my home
I'm listening to a crystalline music
and breathing like a heartbeat metronome

There's mountains and rivers in america
where I go for the quiet i need
I listen to the sound of the seasons
guided by standing people trees

These trees were growing way before there was america
breathing as the lungs of the land
holding hillsides together
and watching as it crumbles into sand

We met in the land america
of designer whites and reds consumed for blues
underneath the sky in bodies
revealing me and me revealing you

If memory is the tool we forget with
and never will it be what it is not
still a memory of the future's been broken
and, even still, it puts me on the spot

Now I'm sitting by a lake in america
accompanied by jetplanes overhead
Waving sad goodbyes to america
the last day of this life I'll know I'm dead
