lyrics

Birch bark canoe merges onto the freeway
No turn signal, how to switch lanes?
Paddle slower into slumber accelerator
Space - time - reflex and futuristic waves
Worker boy swimming out in the deep
Can’t touch bottom prehistorically

I’ll sit and stare as the crow comes into ramble
Fresh cut grass and tree stump in the yard
Gate at the drive is rusted and grown over
Ship and canoe is the soul of the archive

Take on water as you hear the sound of concrete
Residential military
White picket fences at the cemetery
Residential military

Residential military

Gorgeous, emotive music that's somehow both soothing and haunting all at once, wonderful to listen to on a quiet night in the dark of your room. cattnapped
