From the recording Birthday
Lyrics
Bee Shoes
Remember that angel’d sing
Remember that crack in the backyard
Remember an offering is what you should’ve been thinking
But you we off in a daze
We could tell by the face you made
Couldn’t quite tell if you’d comprehend
That’s about when we lost you then
Break apart that riddled lock and let yourself inside
We’ve obviously noticed you’re alive
Remember that angel’d sing
Remember that crack in the backyard
Don’t believe a word they say
Don’t let it out; keep it in
They’ll flatten your heart, tear out your bones
And then they’ll be after your skin
Don’t fantasizeDon’t sympathize
Don’t say it out of fear
The future is irrelevant if you can’t get there from here
Remember that angel’d sing
Remember that crack in the backyard
Remember an offering is what you should’ve been thinking
But you we off in a daze
We could tell by the face you made
Couldn’t quite tell if you’d comprehend
That’s about when we lost you then
Break apart that riddled lock and let yourself inside
We’ve obviously noticed you’re alive
Remember that angel’d sing
Remember that crack in the backyard
The hillsides are worn jagged
We’re left on a precipice-steep
We melted the iceNow we’re standing in blood knee-deep
Before we domesticate another unsuspecting race
The smile is wiped clean off another naive American face
Remember that angel’d sing
Remember that crack in the backyard
Remember an offering is what you should’ve been thinking
But you we off in a daze
We could tell by the face you made
Couldn’t quite tell if you’d comprehend
That’s about when we lost you then
Remember that crack in the backyard
Remember that angel’d sing
It's what you should've been thinking
