lyrics

all of the elders fell from the burning tops of the trees
foxes in fables searching for silence in their screams
notions of people forgotten and lysis of disease
famous for fables and yarns spun around the open seams

but i should've known you, i could've brought you something
something to burn or something to leave at your feet
as a record of the changing mean
i feel its range in me
and i left an imprint on your cheek

rondels and songs have always been on the edge of weeds
planted and sown for someone to grow around their seeds
standing on tables and flailing their arms in ecstasy
moments of glorious madness and authenticity

but i should've known you, i could've helped you to keep
something to burn away all the older memories
you never had a chance to see
you wouldn't stand with me
when i demanded peace
you never granted it to me

but i never asked for you to leave
and i laid the answer on your sleeve
i left an imprint on your cheek
i left an imprint
