Lyrics by Indi Riverflow

A word on the tongue’s worth ten in the head
It’ll never be heard if it never gets said
You know, sealed lips never get fed
Wind up with pie in the eye instead

Repeating history’s all the rage
Most of the action goes down off-stage
Painted epiphanies faded with age
There’s a flip side to every page

{Chorus}
Toss a pebble
Unlock the rain
Gather your vessels
As the crescent moon wanes
Here comes a flood
Of tears sweat and blood
Washing out the shallow plain
Weep not for all that spills
Rejoice for what remains

There I go, waking dragons in their dens
Tickling unguarded abdomens
Ruffling feathers without raising a pen
Must’ve been speaking out loud again

Hatchets buried under tons of dirt
Just let it slide and no one gets hurt
This molehill’s too deep to desert
And I’ll be glad to get out with my shirt

{Chorus}

So serve the story that lives to be told
Never bought or sold, not for pale gold
That’s the creed we’re held to uphold
Casting plaster in a hunter’s mold

We’re surely checked into the Mission
A sweet and melancholy tradition
Set on a course in matter transmission
I’ll count myself rich if I’ve paid my tuition
