One Horse - Menomena

Glacial garden

You’ve made a mess out of me

I liked you better as a packet of seeds

Pruned your fingers

Wove your arms through the fence

Now you’re choking everything…

Green-thumbed mystic

You made a fool out of me

I liked you better when your advice came for free

Two dreams i’ve journaled

Toxins i’ve cleansed

Vines are clinging desperately…

Hiding spirits in the cupboard

You always drank alone

You were a one horse town…

Sister sobbing in the kitchen

For you to stick around

You were a one horse town…

Boulder canyon

You made a son out of me

I had a mother who swam in your streams

I know the ending

Yet i’m faking suspense

More fertilizer for the trees

For the trees…

(From dust to dust

Roots will pass through us)
