I wrote the original draft of this as part of a song-a-day challenge I took on following some major life changes. I didn’t end up writing a song every day, but this was one of the first I wrote, and it stuck with me.
Cicada Days Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The greener grass grows where the wildfires fertilize
With ashes of sparrows, peppered moths, & butterflies
Ghosts of trees and termites bloom in the beanstalk
And if you get lightheaded when standing too fast
Is it from shaking out the weight of phosphenes and pasts
Salt deposits on warm little rivers that burst from our words
[Pre-Chorus]
And God knows crying ain't gonna change a thing
She said take care, but I take more than I bring
[Chorus]
She said "It just feels inhumane to lose this much."
'Cause when you leave you know you takе more than your love
Just one week of cicada days, wе're losing touch
And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much
[Verse 2]
Our nerves were braided under ceiling stars
That were all glow in the dark, hanging over queen-sized
Purple waves of ancient chemicals just whisper
Did you ever build with those endangered bones?
Well, the ground looks soft enough to bury this now
Oh, please, oh no!
[Pre-Chorus]
And then my sponsor said "Do nothing. Nothing works."
And then my doctor said "Don't do that if it hurts."
[Chorus]
She said "It just feels inhumane to lose this much
'Cause when you leave you know you take more than your love."
The seasons of cicada days, we can't make up
And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much
[Chorus]
Let all my red flags fade to white, yeah, I give up
Don't let me leave, I'll only take more than I gave
Okay, I'll pack my stuff
Here at the end of days, my god, what have I done?
Christ, now it feels damn inhumane to get all I've dreamed of
[Outro]
Keep coming back, it works if you work it
So work it, you're worth it, it won't if you don't
One day at a time, tomorrow's too late, amen

What did Will Wood say about "Cicada Days"?
“Cicadas spend the vast majority of their seventeen-year life cycles underground. They chew on roots for the better part of two decades, crawl up trees, Cronenberg/Kafka into enormous flies, tear out of their alien shells, scream for two months, and die. I guess cicada days could either be a long ti...
Is there any reason for the "Purple" in the lyric video to be coloured green?
That could be a reference to the Stroop Test, a psychological test used to measure the brain’s ability to fight cognitive interference, as well as to measure attention and memory.
The test consists of people being shown colored text that states a color’s name while also being written in a conflictin...
