Branches Bare Lyrics
remove that need
the orchids thrive
in the dark
i found the night awake
we found dried leaves
pressed inside the book
like a stark vision of time
i wish you were still alive
and will the memories be lost
when we lose you
when they clear the house
you lived so many years
no matter how far you are away
i see you in the distance
the distance
we spit in the pond to give the fish something to pray to
sometimes the sunset doesn’t want to be photographed
we are no tigers in the picked-bone grasslands
ela dear knows a dork in a thrift store hat
and that is that.
???
most of deez emcees is fake.
the orchids thrive
in the dark
i found the night awake
pressed inside the book
like a stark vision of time
i wish you were still alive
when we lose you
when they clear the house
you lived so many years
i see you in the distance
the distance
we are no tigers in the picked-bone grasslands
ela dear knows a dork in a thrift store hat
and that is that.
most of deez emcees is fake.

sounds more like 'we swim in the pond' to me.
The line "I wish you were still alive" makes it all sound very, very deep. "clear the house you lived so many years" indicated that it was an older person who died, living alone. Maybe some relative, like grandmother? Or mother? He doesn't want to forget her.
