White Fanged Foreverness

When hawks glide underwater

and salmon replace the unborn

the forgotten will rise from the oceans

nests of kelp all strewn in their horns

and whispering

"Please take us back. Please take us back. We've learned our lessons."

And Kate will break in down here

without your seasons and fearless snow

and Kate will break in down here

without your seasons and fearless bones

and white fanged foreverness

bare footed wilderness

green tangled gills need rest

and we can be forever blessed

we can be forever blessed

if we take the back roads like you said

if we take the back roads

And here on this pile of shell

i call out to the pods all gathered like thunderheads

under-in our hands

crying with your songs like a peaceful death

please teach us release

teach me release

Cause' Kate will break in down here

without your seasons and fearless snow

and kate will break in down here

without your seasons and fearless bones

and white fanged foreverness

barefooted wilderness

green tangled gills need rest

and we can be forever blessed

we can be forever blessed

if we take the back roads like you said

if we take the back roads

And here on this pile of driftwood

i will carefully string up

stick by stick, thin by thick

bit by bit, rib by rib

rib by rib, rib by rib, rib by rib

Until a marble of you dances and chants

"in perfect balance take me back.

in perfect balance take me back.

i've learned my lesson."

And white fanged foreverness

barefooted wilderness

green tangled gills need rest

and we can be forever blessed

we can be forever blessed

if we take the back roads like you said

if we take the back roads
