lyrics

crossing these borders, these mental boundaries
and ducking our heads into different spaces
different people from different places
and oscillating flowers

hair pulled tight, skin like drums
tarmac teenagers dragging pilons
discussing something, arms moving, wild, long,
among the giant birds for hours

say hi to the wind that blows
say hi to the grass that grows
say bye to the people underground

they are framed by hanging lights
the snowstorm outside is getting vicious
i wish this kiss wasn't so suspicious
as it lingers on my senses

chewed up lips are saying words
the afternoon is opening like fragile petals
trying to make sense of the fields of metal
because your great uncle built them

say hi to the wave you missed
say hi to the eucharist
say bye to the pall beneath the mound

but don't be scared, the world is your mother
energized by the threads within you
your threads do nothing that they don't mean to
can you fulfill them?

spirit chasers on the tarmac
i wonder how the mother allows such perversion
could be the insertion, or some other version of
carving tragic trenches

say hi to the crashing rapids
say hi to the re-enactment
say bye to the small blue room

but don't forget, and don't despair
the goddess of may is gonna ask you for something
cutting it down, a whole lifetime of stumping is
emanating this shanty

let it act however it wants
let the haunting spirits that guide you
do whatever they decide to
if they choose to come out of concealment

say hi to the muzzled heart
say hi to the stranger parts
say bye to the hot electric room

speak to the wild grey land around you
subsist in this soaking wet living landscape
spread your spotted wings and take
the fleeting for a ride

there's something going on in here
i know it's true, don't hide that secret
if i sound far too eager, it's
because i can't accept that they can't see

say hi to your meager future
say hi to the hands that touch her
say bye to the love and the lawn

did a little bit of suffering cause
the growth of all those horns and claws?
could it be that people's flaws
determined where the seal went?

and he ducks his head back under the water
and she and i slip into sleep
and the walls of the quarry are crushingly steep
and in our tent we hide

say hi to the misery
say hi to the mystery
say bye one last time and you're gone
