about

[INTERMISSION V]

What more can be said about this song? I've spoken about it at length and it is definitely a jewel in the WOE.BEGONE crown. I think musically, everything worked out terrifically. As a piece of the show, it's a beautiful testament to Mike's love for Edgar. Also a nice addition to the drinking game where you drink every time I talk about geologic time, geology, soil, dirt, archaeology, or earth history.

lyrics

I was hoping you would
ignore the faultlines
and pass over the flags
that say who I am
so I built us a nest
a soft enclosure
I was painted glass
I was born when you were

(so if it hurts I'll know it’s true)

And I would hate to be the one
stuck in past, lost in his tracks
and I would hate to be the one
groveling for a second glance

but I could even rival that
and I have grown so spiteful that
even if I had a bright idea I’d shoot it down
that’s the point, I’m prepared to meet the ground

it’s a normalcy I’m begging you to know
a towering over you
I am full of age, I am coming for you
hoping you are stronger than I’m used to
it was silent death until the silence broke
until the tongue broke through the teeth I know
it was not hard to make myself known
over feet of sediment and soil
so we plant ourselves where we always did
so we’d always be here for it
if I witness much, let me witness this
a terrible idea, I admit
