Bilingual
I took an air rifle, shot a magpie to the ground
And it died without a sound
ย
Your skin so pale against the fallen autumn leaves
No one saw us but the trees
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees
What use they have that I am breathing?
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees
They never said that you were leaving
I carved your name with a hard, distorted axe
Like so much distorted, unrecognizable life
The smell of leaf mold and the sweetness of decay
Are the incense at the funeral procession here today
ย
You tried to shape the world to what you want the world to be
ย
Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me
ย
Oh no, no, I might as well go tell it to the trees
