lyrics

The bristlecone pines
Wind their bark towards heaven
They’ve seen it all
Their cells are writ with permanence
But here I am afraid
That I don’t have long
Here I am afraid of the “big one.”

Take me down to the basin
Or where the aspens are quaking
Tell me I’m an animal
Tell me I come from Methuselah.

VERSE 2
We burn this shit down
We make garbage out of all of it
We’ll never know
That our bodies are part of it.

We eat and breathe our sins
Until we’re all alone.
All in the name of progress

But there are ghosts in the fault lines.
I’ve heard them talk to me my whole life.
They told me don’t be afraid to die
But don’t fuck up the time you have on this side.

VERSE 3
this will never end.
Your soul will come round again.
As a member of our swimming pod or better - a needle on a pine.

VERSE 4
A week before the equinox it snowed
The bubble was bursting but we didn’t know
All I could see was you crying
As you turned into a whale

Sometimes I ask you
To give me a sign
To show you’ll be around my whole life
And then you tell the trees to talk to me
No better mother than a redwood.

VERSE 5
This will never end.
Your soul will come round again.
As a member of a dying herd or better - a needle on a pine.

For artists like Kaley Lane Eaton who paint outside the lines, there are seemingly endless boxes to check, but few name-brand comparisons. Joni Mitchell, Björk, Kate Bush, Laurie Anderson. Eaton’s “disconcertingly lovely” (Seattle Weekly) compositions are “unconfined by genres” (V13 Media). ... more
