When We Were Trees - Andy Hull

And you fell too fast like a cannonball

but the fishnet stocking hands caught me again

and your head explodes like nothings wrong

my god we laid there silent for an hour

And the birds they watched like a funeral

and they sang us all their pretty funeral songs

Yahweh, yahweh hallelujah

what a mess that you have made again this time

and tempt us, tempest hallelujah

And the birds they cry and watch us as we squak

and as we fall

And we must have laid alone for hours

I could feel your cold blood creeping up my arm

And I asked you if you were alright

but the bumbles from your mouth gave out alarms

And our mothers ran towards your ghost

while our fathers tried to fix your eggshelled head

and they sang it humpty dumpty hallelujah

well the king himself could not fix you again

But now I sing because I miss you

And I meant to tell you that but I was scared

I was scared
