"Co-Owner of Trees" lyrics
"Co-Owner of Trees"
I wrote down some ideas and I made some records
I sold some records and I got money
I spent the money to buy some land
I own land, I feel funny
Ownership rears its head again in the weirdest ways
I trudge along the property line
I hide from neighbors when they go by
I speak a spell against their private property signs
In our woods, I ask "what's mine?"
I burn this pile of branches, clearing forest fire fuel
I give it back in rising smoke to the unowned sky
Nothing's mine, I draw a line
A wind blows and says "nice try"
I'm a passing through indebted fool
Borrowing air and firewood
Dreaming of co-ownership of everything
Beneath the trees that I share with the infinite

I could not get through...

I don't want to live at all...

MJ Lenderman & Wednesday - "Perfect" I know we're just like old friends
We just can't pretend
That lovers make amends
We are reasons so unreal
We can't help but feel
That something has been lost
So please, I know you're just like me...
