lyrics

take me to your nest of brambled branches
the thistle will caress my weathered skin
slowly falling as i enter
petals blooming from within
take me to your nest of brambled branches
honeysuckle sweetness draws me in

the sinews that surround me
that hold my heavy heart
the aching that encapsulates
my need to be a part of you
i will pledge my fealty
if you will be my queen
i will break the cycle
if you will keep me clean
the forest that surrounds us
protects us from the dark
the water that brings life to term
will nourish us as we embark
i will pledge my fealty
if you will be my queen
i will break the cycle
if you will keep me clean

we can build this together
honeycomb in the hive
we can build this together
from a seedling grows life

the water
will rise up
and drown us
in splendor

the trees
will breathe
the forest cradles the seed
the bees
will fly
the forest brings forth new life

cover me in honey
let me catch the flies
petals from your sweetest flower
cover up my eyes
wrap me in your branches
wrap me in your leaves
bury me beneath the ground
where i’ll become the seed
