Petrified Forest Lyrics by Olivia Gubel

2021

You dreamt we lived
In the middle of the Petrfied Forest
We had dogs that looked for truffles
And I was five months pregnant
We walked to the
Elementary school and talked on the field
The drought washed the grass in yellow ochre
You called it a fire hazard
So if a brush fire should wipe across this valley
You’d bring the plants and bugs inside to keep them safe
I’d be staring at the constellations
Trying to remember thеir names
There’s a timеr on everything
I say
Turn it down, drown it out
You say we can’t be saved by destiny
And I admire your empathy
But I don’t feel anything
No I don’t feel anything
I stopped waiting
Until you fall asleep to smoke a cigarette
You used to reprimand me
I say “it’s only after I drink”
And after you go to bed alone
I pray to a god that I don’t know
There’s nothing to see in the sky tonight
And I think about how you’re right
But if a brush fire should wipe across
You’d bring the plants and bugs inside to keep them safe
I’d be staring at the constellations
Trying to remember their names
There’s a timer on everything
I say
Turn it down, drown it out
You say we can’t be saved by destiny
And I admire your empathy
But I don’t feel anything
No I don’t feel anything
I’m worshipping at Orion
You’re a 21st century Noah
You wish that I would listen
I wish I could get to know you
There’s a timer on everything
I say
Turn it down, drown it out
You say we can’t be saved by destiny
And I admire your empathy
But I don’t feel anything
You say we can’t be saved by destiny
And I admire your empathy
But I don’t feel anything
No, I don’t feel anything
