lyrics

It's so easy to get lost inside your home
a windowless room where you can only feel alone
where the sun can't run its fingers through your hair
and let you know you're always there
and it's not easy when you're digging up a grave
aim to revive the life you know that you must save
and put this one in its place

Learning how to be reborn
lift your knife and let life take hold

I can never know what I have never felt
these bones aren't hollow they're just untapped
a child feels the earth breathe around her feet
and I can hear all the voices if I only let them speak
I take this gentle spade though I have yet to learn the art
and blindly peer into the outskirts of my heart

Picking flowers for a crow
you have your friends and I have mine

Think of all the times that you can still recall
when this world seemed to hold any meaning at all
possibilities perched on the shoulders of the wind
and as a kid you searched for where truth was hidden
how many a language has ceased to pass from lips or leaves?
everywhere our kin is on the run, and if love
can't move you to act, have you forgotten how to breathe?

Picking flowers for a crow
you have your friends and I have mine
Leaving all I've known behind
you have your life and I have mine


*partly based on the poem "Flowers for a Crow" by Richard Brautigan
