lyrics

Behind the mushroom trees and clover field
There is a story in the bark unseen
Let it be believed

It was early August and the rain had fell
Even though the summer had only begun
Let it be believed
Let it be believed

We were the brothers of a threadless seam
Upon the shoulders of my Father’s dream
We were so young

There was a fire between the moss and leaves
Underneath the corrugated sheets of teeth
We were so young
We were so young

We burnt our fears onto the rocks that moved
And stung our bodies on the nettles too
How did we learn

We drank the spirits and the spirit rained
The clothes we wore were just needless thing
How did we learn
How did we learn

Father, you carved our names onto the tree
Where history would read the dead and see
That we were once friends
That we were once friends

You knelt beside my right hand,
You showed me how to cut with a knife
Sat behind the window, and waited up for us to return
Admired what we had learned, admired what we had yet not
So sit outside the door frame, we’ll return when we’re older and grey
