lyrics

Plant Matter

Dried up weeds and a pinch of grass, pinch of grass
and a rock gone sideways, pinch of grass
and a tuft of flowers, bumble bees, rain drops
where am I? it doesn’t matter to the spider

inside, windows, cobwebs, floor holes
bugs on floor boards go to and fro
frozen fingers, warm socks on toes
who am i? it doesn’t matter to my own clothes

what’s it matter to plant matter?
it’s not for me to say we pass the time and speculate
when people talk about it’s just a matter of the heart
i’ll wager that our oozy blood pumps don’t care how conscious we are

circles, cycles, make lists, check off
where’s the pliers? tasks splinter off
dust falls, dusk falls, things fall apart
what am i going to do with my tomorrow?

we doubt ourselves, i’m running out of cells to power everything
lay down your sense of self, how are you going to help anything?
we doubt ourselves, i’m running out of cells to power everything
lay down your sense of self, you will not go to hell, i don’t think, do you?
i don’t think too good
i’m not sure we could
i don’t think we should
