Perennial Waltz from Briarfinch by Briarfinch

Well I slew the beast that ate all my sleep
Now he’s rusting all over my hands
And thought he melts like a clown on the one that cut him down
I take no pleasure, even knowing I can

I tried to wash off my anger with feathers and tar
And walk through the town on display
And some people himmed and hawed, and some others held their jams
And yet others cried “What cometh may”

I’m gonna bury my love in the ground
And let the earth have its way
And grow me another when the spring comes around
For to save my grace

I got a flask in my pocket and I keep takin pulls
Like a name I can’t cast from my mind
That I scold and I soothe and it tumbles til it’s smooth
Enough my mouth cannot its sound find

I’m gonna bury my love in the ground
And let the earth have its way
And grow me another when the spring comes around
The be the theme of my days

Well we sailed to Australia on a bicycle for two
The Indian ocean was dry
We got as far as the reef but couldn’t feel the unseen
I’m a tourist for finding a why

So I bury my love in the ground
And let time have its way
Do I buy a place-marker or try to wait it out
And who am I to say

If I’m perennial
Could I be perennial
Am I perennial
