lyrics

you remind me of the girl in the dream
i had on the night i turned thirteen
you floated up from the edge of the sea
w/ clams all covering yr feet

leaves clung fast to yr skin
the forests mouth welcomed you in
as you fell to every earthly sin
adapting outside of the ocean

crudely breaking every rule
yr fathers taught to you
cutting yrself in the bathroom
and making all yr sisters turn to the spoon

following the path of beaten birds
sprinkling their feathers on worlds
planets far away and w/o words
you crashed across a valley filled w/ herds

you walked away w/o a scratch
and the numbers formed a pattern we call math
beauty came from impurities in that
covering yr head like a child's hat

i ride past where i almost got in a car wreck
a drunken night pretending i was a redneck
where i stupidly hit on a good friends sister
and the neighborhood where her young boyfriend hit her
and i remember a girl who cried on every prom night
and the tall tree i pissed on out of spite
back in parkersburg
