There's a river that parts the valley of this town
Following the road up to your father's farm
Your rosy lungs were empty on the day that you were born
And no one thought you'd make it past the morning
Your brother said your mother
Was a firefly you buried in the earth
And every night, the fire light
Warms the tender bits of skin beneath your shirt
The climbing constellations move in semi-tones
And set behind the county line in a melody of gravitation

Calling on the colours of the road!
Sleep amongst the mango trees and poison toads
A flood for every footprint, and every mile you forgot
Though your hands were little, they always gave a lot
Hold your breath...
Hold your breath...
Hold your breath...
Hold your breath...
(x2)
The sanctity of soil
Wandering roots and living oils
Reunions underground
Sunlight surfacing, and all around, mountains like diaphragms...
The rhythm of a landscape that is breathing
