emblem

(альбом: flounder - 2023)

Give me a sec to envelope in dark
Just wait for the lights in the sky to go low
I'll glow at the boardwalk, the sidewalk, the park
Tangling in mesh on my float down the road

A wet seed wild in the hot blind earth
You forget too often existence's worth
It's green in the fracture, fill in where it hurts
Shine and endure like you're gold in the dirt
Gold in the dirt
Gold in the dirt
Gold in the dirt
Gold in the dirt

The simplest joys are the ones most profound
A flyaway fractal, a dragonfly wing
Smooth stones from the beach and bolts found on the ground
Gems waiting for your eyes to see them gleaming

A wet seed wild in the hot blind earth
It's a holiday and you're ready to burst
We wrap up the lilacs in old newspaper
Everyone knows that you're gold in the dirt
Gold in the dirt
Gold in the dirt
Gold in the dirt
Gold in the dirt

The birds ate the pulp and they dropped down the seed
With intricate pattern down to the last cell
A stone from a peach, leave an emblem on me
Now I've got it all, why want anything else?

Big bold true
Bright proud new
When you step out
The world steps in to meet you
Big bold true
Bright proud new
When you step out
The world steps in to meet you
