White Fanged Foreverness

When hawks glide underwater
And salmon replace the unborn
The forgotten will rise from the ocean
Nests of kelp all strewn in their horns
And whispering
"Please take us back, please take us back
We've learned our lesson"

Kate we are breaking down here
Without your seasons and fearless snow
And Kate we are breaking down here
Without your seasons and fearless snow
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 shell, I call out
To the pods all gathered like thunderheads
Thunder in our heads
Crying with your songs like a peaceful death
Please teach us release
Teach me release

Kate we are breaking down here
Without your seasons and fearless snow
And Kate we are breaking down here
Without your seasons and fearless snow

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
Rib by rib, rib by rib
Until a mobile of you dances and shifts
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
