🎸 Verse:
D
The greener grass grows where the wildfires fertilize,
D Em G
With ashes of sparrows, peppered moths, and butterflies. Ghosts of trees and termites

And if you get lightheaded when standing too fast, is it from
D Em G
shaking out the weight of phosphenes and past salt deposits, on warm little rivers,

Em G D
And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much.
🎸 Verse:
D
Our veins were tangled under plastic stars, that were all

purple waves of ancient chemicals. Just whisper.

Did you ever build with those endangered bones? Well the

Please, oh no.

Let all my red flags fade to white, yeah, I give up.

One day at a time, tomorrow's too late, amen.
