Monsoon Season (feat. Jesse Kalu)

A wave of color sweeps though a black and white memory A scared shadow crawls into the roots Equilibrium is such an illusion I feel your footsteps shake the ground beneath my feet This tree's been holding on through storms and through earthquakes It's old and tired and it's falling asleep Where did you come from? Why are you shaking the branches?  This tree will never bear fruit  It's a hurricane This crown will crash and tumble It's a tidal wave These roots will drown It's a lightning storm This trunk will crack and shatter It's a forest fire Now burn me, burn me, burn me, burn You're like a cricket crawling onto my big toe Your song is beautiful I want nothing but the best for you I'd hate to crush you like a clumsy blind giant  Who falls asleep counting sheep Next year I'll carve a hollow boat  Next month I'll build a telescope  Next week I'll fly a paper crane Next time I'll be a shade-giving tree in a thirsty land Today, a shelter for you Stay and sing your song for me Beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests In stillness and in Silence Silence Silence Silence Peace Peace Peace
