lyrics

OUR HOME, A STRANGE HOVEL ON THE STRIP FAR FROM THE SEA
WHERE STRAY CATS DRANK CHLORINE UNDER DRY FLUORESCENT FLICKERING
SHOWCASING NATURE IN A PLASTIC VOID OF HUNGER
ANCHORED IN DAYS OF MAD RUSH AND FRENZIED NIGHTS OF REVERIE
WE FORGOT OUR NAMES
OR PERHAPS THEY SIMPLY CHANGED
STOLEN WERE THE OLD SHOES
BUT STILL IN SOME KIND OF STASIS
A SUDDEN NEED TO PULL THE SKIN AWAY
IN ANY CASE, IF ONLY FOR A MOMENT WE KNEW WE MUST ESCAPE
TO A MOUNTAIN

ON A MOUNTAIN
WE CAME BACK TO OUR BODIES
WE CAME BACK TO OUR SENSES
GIVEN PERSPECTIVE
BY A MOUNTAIN

I HUNG MY HEAD OUT OF THE WINDOW SOAKING IN THE VIEW
TO FEEL THE WIND, ABSORB THE BROWN AROUND ME,
ROOTS DOWN, MADE NEW
WE PILED ROCKS IN LITTLE STACKS
A FAIRY CITY ON THE PATH
PRETENDING WE HAD NO PLACE TO BE
IN SIMPLICITY RAPT
I LAY MYSELF OUT ON A ROCK
THE MORNING SUN HEATING MY SKIN
SO APART, I HALF FORGOT THE CHAOS I WAS LIVING IN
WE GATHERED PLASTIC FLOWERS SCATTERED BY THE ELEMENTS
AND PLACED THEM BACK ON THE SHRINE
IN RESPECT FOR A MOUNTAIN

ON A MOUNTAIN . . .

AND EVEN WHEN THE GATES WERE SHUT
AND EVEN WHEN THE SIRENS HOWLED
WE HEAR COYOTE SINGING
FELT THE STARS CALLING SO LOUD
AND MY EYES WERE BLURRED
AND MY HEART SWELLED UP
AND PLEIADES, SO LOVELY
THAT EMBRACE
WAS JUST ENOUGH

ON A MOUNTAIN . . .
