Thanksgiving - We'll die

oh worldly hopes
you set your heart on
all will turn to ash
below the fire you start
like snow or ice
in a new days sunrise
they’ll shine in the world
for a matter of moments and then
they’ll melt back in the dirt and in the hay
uh huh in the hay
what will you take into your tomb
uh huh on your dying day
what will you shine upon your doom
when I was younger and taken care of
when I was warmed and fed up by my mom
it was fun to get cold and fast
when I was tough / my skin was smooth
but now that it’s rough
I put the next foot in front
I slowly carve out at our days like water
uh huh in the waves
I’ll bring my fire to the estuary
uh huh from the highest place
to the darkest cave
I’ll go with just my eyes to scare me
