about

A little tune about getting lost in counting drops of rain while your garden withers outside.

lyrics

And then the icy cold raindrops fell so fast
And you counted them the amount of them as they passed
As though you just expected the math
to work out and confirm it all at last

And then we saw when the garden grew so bare
It looked as though nothing had grown there
And they said you know what we don't even
care if fallow fields are ever full again or fail

It doesn't matter where you look
You know you won't be far away enough from home
Bare branches everywhere you turn and go
There's no way out
You didn't recognize the sounds or shapes
Before you realized it was too late
Old dead leaves rustling beneath your feet
And nothing else to keep

And soon the wounds became too big to ignore
like an elephant skeleton at the door
And no one knows what it was put there for
Or what it means how could we know for sure?

It doesn't matter where you look
You know you won't be far away enough from home
Bare branches everywhere you turn and go
There's no way out
You didn't recognize the sounds or shapes
Before you realized it was too late
Old dead leaves rustling beneath your feet
And nothing else to keep

The dandelion wisp
Floats ever further from their lips
Forgetting in a passing instant
Where it’s been x2









It fades away and ceases to exist
The darkness grows and grows even more thick
And as you watch you become part of it
It holds you tight

It doesn't matter where you look
(not anymore)
You know you won't be far away enough from home
(not like before)
Bare branches everywhere you turn and go
(spinning around)
There's no way out

You didn't recognize the sounds or shapes
(you did not see)
Before you realized it was too late
(so like a dream)
Old dead leaves rustling beneath your feet
(across the ground)
And nothing else to keep
