Clear Cut - Miniluv

"The rift that can be driven between siblings as they exit childhood is something I struggled with deeply as a teenager. It caused me to look back on my innocent years with a very deep, dark sort of longing. Rather than trying to mend the gap between my brother and I, I chose to harbor that darkness for far too long, and it ate me alive for years.
The light shines through the trees a little easier these days, though"

Lyrics:
I asked your roots to grow into my flesh,
to use my veins as maps
You let them dig into my skin,
but your hatred drew them back.
So still I stand between their bodies and I look east for winters end.
I urge the dirt to drink my blood and let the Tall Trees grow again.

Young wicked boys, we dance through dust.
Drunk on death and mad with song.
My fading laughter showed the truth, one pair of footsteps all along.
So still I sit with dying giants.
Their leaves will fall by end of June.
My hero's eyes burned holes in me,
I dug holes here for me and you.

So still I stand between their bodies and I look east for winters end.
I urge the dirt to drink my blood and let the Tall Trees grow again.

The Tall Trees died when we were 10, they seemed to shrink as we grew up.
We walked the forest one last time just before the clear cut.
