Lyrics

We aim for the air
One wing, then the other gets us there
Above the dirt until we one day, unfazed
We become the earth
Become the earth
Become the earth
Belonging in the longing
Could last as long as love is
Longer than measurement
Until we all become the earth
Become the earth
Become the earth
Become the earth
Periwinkle, cobalt, Magnolia tree
Flee till you're free, and stay loving me
Some people have gone and the people who stayed
Will eventually go in a matter of days
Dust into dust, as material must
Ash into ash, into plexi and trash
Skilled eye, landmark in Styrofoam, time
Carried remainders on overgrown vines
Periwinkle, cobalt, Magnolia tree
Flee till you're free, and stay loving me
Some people have gone and the people who stayed
Will eventually go in a matter of days
Become the earth
Periwinkle, cobalt, Magnolia tree
Flee till you're free, and stay loving me
Some people have gone and the people who stayed
Will eventually go in a matter of days
Become the earth
Dust into dust, as material must
Ash into ash, into plexi and trash
Skilled eye, landmark in Styrofoam, time
Carried remainders on overgrown vines
Become the earth
Periwinkle, cobalt, Magnolia tree
Flee till you're free, and stay loving me
Some people have gone and the people who stayed
Will eventually go in a matter of days
Periwinkle, cobalt, Magnolia tree
Flee till you're free, and stay loving me
Some people have gone and the people who stayed
Will eventually go in a matter of days
