about

Music by Turf Title. Lyrics by Shane Mitbo.

lyrics

Over time I've become
More and more accustomed
Increasingly calloused
With every single loss

But when your soul embarked
It was more than a tally mark

Anguish enfolded me
Poured over like concrete
Surrounded slowly then
Hardened and sealed me in

I never understood
Why you walked the redwoods
Maybe it's because they gave you shelter
From the rainstorms in mid December
We buried a seed
In your memory
Next millennium
You'll tower above
When your future kin
Walk the trails you did
Your branches will help
Shelter from the wind

You left us so abruptly
With damp cheeks sawdust on the skin
The rolling hills of Berkely
Wistfully recall your wheels' kiss
Stand over me sequoia
And shield me from the storm within
Despite how I avoid it
I always sing the requiem

Now your wife and daughter
Sit together in a kitchen
That feels capacious and somber
Cause it was built for one more person
Still propped on the mantle
Sits a wedding picture
That your little girl can't handle
Because you never got to meet her
You never got to meet her
