Lyrics
We went driving through the canyon
And we read all the crosses while you sang of their life
Does it make you feel alive?
No one likes to be here at night
just look at how the dust gathers
on the abandoned cars
That handprint will be there forever
If there’s land that’s gone sour,
It’s the land beneath our feet;
And if there’s something after,
I hope it’s light and lily-sweet.
You know we’re the parasites.
Poison oak grows up the coasts trying to protect the earth from us.
But our hands bury shallow rot.
Blackened shrubs like singed hairs
Para-gliders sail on heat thermals above the bones and...
Samantha, I don’t know what to say.
Except,
If there’s land that’s gone sour,
It’s the land beneath our feet;
And if there’s something after,
I hope it’s light and lily-sweet.
Who could make such burning?
Who could make such burning weight?
The red-roiling wake of death,
Who could make such burning?
