lyrics

birch trees look like cigarettes growing from your fingers and
when we walk you're a scarecrow that watches over people
a wool sock
stuffed with pine needles

i wanna hold your straw bones and watch you watch things grow and
tell the moon it sounds like a megaphone
bridge water makes a mirror of a honeycomb
and ghosts have been sewing all my pockets closed

trees fiddle with kite strings when they think no ones listening
for wood creaking and joints shedding splinters but
i've been up for a while and it's hard to not hear them
