from Decade by Various Artists

about

2012, originally released on Compound, released again on Summers Retreat

all estranged from our mother
we are children and takers

how far to the top?
the peak is unknown
achievement over succeed
the wind has blown

no paper without mother
no longer children we’re fakers

skyline drives
tomorrow or today
when pavement was still
three hundred away

surname stripped
we are the children not taken
how much longer?
screams child as we descend

how much longer?
where is the end?
patches of berries
not those ones it’s very

dangerous
to be spontaneous
it’s so dangerous
to be spontaneous

ethereal dream
in an evergreen scene
stripped of my mind
now the streams only lead

mother’s still home
tucked me into a crater
I’m still a child
no need for a savior
I’m still a child
I can live as a faker
I’m still a child

take me home
