Slivers of Green

[Verse 1]
This is the dirt that I squish with my feet
These are the worms underneath
She is the ballerina who performs
Atop the broken sundial

[Verse 2]
Leaves are the shelter for scared ladybugs
Blocking the rain from above
High in the trees are the prisoners of war
Who wait for puddles to form

[Chorus]
Rachel don't you climb the wall
Why should we leave the garden?
Lick the morning with your tongue
Swallow the afternoon

[Verse 3]
This is the air that I take in my lungs
Here's where I'll lie when I'm done
Next to the gargoyle stoic and old
Atop the moss-covered gate

[Chorus]
Rachel don't you climb the wall
Why should we leave the garden?
Lick the morning with your tongue
Swallow the afternoon

[Outro]
Up from the topsoil, slivers of green
Grow tall and tickle our feet
