[Intro]
C C7 Dm C
[Verse 1]
C C7
I tried to go back to the river to visit where I spent the years
Dm G C
But the weather was too windy the mud was black and water tears
C C7
So I walked across the sidewalk found where the seagulls pray
Dm G G7
To moss and ugly entities who jeer at their display
C C7
And I opened up the cupboards to find something to eat
Dm G C
but the dust was thick and wood was wet so I fell on the concrete
Dm Am
Bury me in the ground I'll melt into the street
C7 G G7
and through the feet of strangers I'll feel my own heartbeat
Dm Am
and let me lay here quietly until the time has past
C7 G C
I'll keep the bugs good company and fertilize the grass
[Verse 2]
C C7
So I set out on a sailboat and gave myself a name
Dm G G7
that sounds like waves and albatross and forest fire flames
C C7
then I rebuilt from the cupboards a house for only me
Dm G C
and the burning of my eulogy dried out the debris
Dm Am
Now the moss and entities find solace in my walls
C7 G C
and though there's ash and evil they stay under it all
[Verse 3]
C C7
I'm crawling out of rubble I'm growing a new skin
Dm G C
the rotten earth you threw at me can't find a way in
C C7
So here I stand on sacred ground burial of me
Dm G C
and underneath the wheelworn ground my corpse she sets me free
Dm Am C G C
oh underneath the wheelworn ground her hands let go of me
