lyrics

On the carbon canyon
There’s a groan
that levels every expectation

To Oregon and damn the risk
We’re in the dirt and full of grit

And lay upon the broken treaties
The pavement over pioneering

We’ll head out west and damn the rest
Where we come from
No second acts

In the still of ruined forests
Upon the pyrite manifest

The coast is full of science fiction
The ocean big enough to kill it

And in the empty wastes
There is no fear
Not enough to spill it over

We’ve wasted time for long enough
We might as well just get on with it

The iridescent stars betray no trust
The black ambition swallowed up

From this point on there’s no descendent
Without pity and forgiveness

In the brush the paths meander
We lose our way and can’t find shelter

The thunder has a kind of wit
In the dirt and full of grit

For that, see the links below. ... more
