Desire Paths

Gold-tipped trees, honeybee Raced you to the full moon and cut my knee Cedars turn water to blood Dead leaves transform into bugs Oh, your mother wouldn't have this The medicine stopped working Desire paths round us out Silent hoists itself atop the feelings we shout Complicate the parliament With a cactus tree argument Oh, your mother couldn't bare this The medicine stopped working Oh, paint me plastered and cover your eyes Can't see me after I boil down the guise Don't pretend it's not on your mind Can you describe Body peace? A real release? Even a cry Deep in the pines? Oh The cycle starts and we fall Oblivious to the call Shallow breath greets the chest You promised you'd love me the best Oh, the baby arrived just in time To witness your mother's last cry
