about

They shook them free your girlish chains
Like black clouds drop their sheets of rain
They woke up one day free
To become something that was yet to be

And it hurt so fucking bad
Until it was just something that they had killed
A cold absence of migraine flashes
Celebrating glasses of champagne spilled

And now I can go walk underneath the canopy
Listen to the grass as it grows up over me
Cuz people like you will do it better than me

They saw the limits of our creations
They saw the borders of the bankrupt nations
Walls and horizons that would trap a soul in amber
Until they smashed the tyrant and abandoned her

They set the churches to crack and rust
And left us all just gasping in the dust
Dancing lightly over rainbow oceans
Coloring the sky new with their angel paint brushes

And now I can go walk underneath the canopy
Listen to the grass as it grows up over me
Cuz people like you will do it better than me

Words and instruments by Paul Roessler
Music by Paul Roessler and Rowan Roessler

They

They shook them free your girlish chains
Like black clouds drop their sheets of rain
They woke up one day free
To become something that was yet to be

And it hurt so fucking bad
Until it was just something that they had killed
A cold absence of migraine flashes
Celebrating glasses of champagne spilled

And now I can go walk underneath the canopy
Listen to the grass as it grows up over me
Cuz people like you will do it better than me

They saw the limits of our creations
They saw the borders of the bankrupt nations
Walls and horizons that would trap a soul in amber
Until they smashed the tyrant and abandoned her

They set the churches to crack and rust
And left us all just gasping in the dust
Dancing lightly over rainbow oceans
Coloring the sky new with their angel paint brushes

And now I can go walk underneath the canopy
Listen to the grass as it grows up over me
Cuz people like you will do it better than me
