Lichen Lyrics by Long Neck

Will This Do?

2018

[Verse 1]
Let me be the lichen that grows when it rains
Green upon the bark dotting the landscape
Let me cling to you when conditions are right
And I can drink away at the coming light
Oh, the matches you struck and held by my cheeks
I felt them burn, I felt them sting
Don't you miss me?
Don't you?

[Verse 2]
I was part of what you'd conceal
The differences in the love you'd feel
This heart isn't mine, it acts on its own accord
I feel much further than I have before
When you bury me, don't put lilies in my fist
Put a beer bottle there 'cause that's how I lived
Won't you miss me?

[Bridge]
When you left you didn't crack my ribs and take my heart
You left it there and you took my lungs
Black around the edges with no room to breathe
I stumbled on and looked to the trees
When you left you didn't crack my ribs and take my heart
You left it there and you took my lungs
Black around the edges with no room to breathe
I stumbled on and looked to the trees

[Outro]
Let me be the lichen that grows when it rains
