How did you howl today? Or did you give it away? Stifling the greatest thing you'd ever say How do you hold on tight when the rumbling comes? Do you fall to the ground or try to dance along? And the rivers start to rise and the sidewalks come alive Just as the baby crowns home becomes your holy ground. If I played it back could you identify the sound? Shh. What was that? Did you hear that? Have you heard it before? How your home howls How your home howls How your home ~ How long were you without? I think I heard you shout But something near was suddenly so weird the signs all turned around You listened real close What surprised you the most? What sudden, what slow? You said some sexy ways your senses awoke. Well no, I never learned the words But I heard the alarm begin with the birds It's starting down the street the ground beneath your feet Reminds me of the time my rhythm caught my heart began to beat. Shh. What was that? Did you hear that? Have you heard it before? How your home howls How your home howls How your home ~ The cacophony is softening His incessant insistence is shit Yip yip Howooo Arf arf Bloop bloop

Whenever we wheel our rope bridges in I remember set sail ~ SET SAIL and lost origins Peering over the edge the last end of the road and then losing my mind and then crafting a boat Why did we wait? We didn't know if we could bear it Why did we wait? We barely even got to share it The ceaseless buzz of machines grows silent a billion bugs on your screens will bite you keep the windows closed, where nothing will find you you've lost all your weapons your heart starts to guide you Why did we wait? We didn't know if we could bear it Why did we wait? We barely even got to share it Whenever we dream of going back home the light is just so the door is a bone your spine is the chimney where your ancestors hush your arms are horizons that your children will push why did we wait?
