lyrics

our hearts live between
what the world isn't bringing
our ears exhaust all our steam
from the sirens' noisy singing

they will call and ask
"where are we going"
an unknown place
where trees scrape the sky
but they're still
growing growing growing
with where-are-you texts
still scrolling through

just you and me
the Lord our God set us free
to see the land
hand in hand
but i can't read
the words on the screen

so let's throw our phones into the lake
like the bread on the water
they will tumble and scatter
and wash up on our door
let's throw our phones into the lake
and ignore where the winds blow
climb til the clouds rain below

i dreamt of a sheep
someone silicone was shearing
blinded by the noon
the birds hit the ceiling

you moved to a black brick, all new
mounted a tv
got all your food from Uber
and in the dream
you turn gray and neuter

sent you a dm to meet me only
when the shadows hover over our heads
come under my umbrella from the satellite antenna
won't know where we're running to

just you and me
i wished it true
from the three
we'll hide in the well
can't you tell
again they'll fall from the sea to the shells

so let's throw our phones into the lake
like the bread on the water
they will tumble and scatter
and wash up on our door
let's throw our phones into the lake

hand in hand, terra mater
we watch our star parachute into the water
so the fish can grow their legs and scatter
