When We Were Trees

And you fell too fast like a cannonball
but the fishnet stocking hands caught me again

and your head explodes like nothings wrong
my god we laid there silent for an hour
And the birds they watched like a funeral
and they sang us all their pretty funeral songs

Yahweh, yahweh hallelujah
what a mess that you have made again this time
and tempt us, tempest hallelujah
And the birds they cry and watch us as we squak
and as we fall

And we must have laid alone for hours
I could feel your cold blood creeping up my arm
And I asked you if you were alright
but the bumbles from your mouth gave out alarms

And our mothers ran towards your ghost
while our fathers tried to fix your eggshelled head
and they sang it humpty dumpty hallelujah
well the king himself could not fix you again

But now I sing because I miss you
And I meant to tell you that but I was scared
I was scared
