say valley maker

with the grace of a corpse

in a riptide

i let go

and i slide slide slide

downriver

with an empty case by my side

an empty case

that's my crime

and i sing

to keep from cursing

yes i sing

to keep from cursing

river oh

river end

river oh

river end

river go

river bend

take me through the sweet valley

where your heart blooms

take me through the sweet valley

where your heart is covered in dew

and when the river dries

will you bury me in wood

where the river dries

will you bury me in stone

oh i never really realized

death is what it meant

to make it on my own

because there is no love

where there is no obstacle

and there is no love

where there is no bramble

there is no love

on the hacked away plateau

and there is no love

in the unerring

and there is no love

on the one true path

oh i cantered out here

now i'm galloping back

so bury me in wood

and i will splinter

bury me in stone

and i will quake

bury me in water

and i will geyser

bury me in fire

and i'm gonna phoenix

i'm gonna phoenix
