lyrics

I’VE BEEN ADDING BRANCHES
WITHOUT ADDING RINGS
SENSITIVE TO AVALANCHES
WHEN THE CHAINSAW CHORUS SINGS
AND ALL THE THINGS THAT THOSE THINGS BRING
A LITTLE OUT OF MY DEPTH AND A LITTLE
OUT OF MY EGO, WHEN I FELL OUT OF MY TREE
AND LANDED IN THE WEEDS
 
SHOULD I BE MORE GIVING? I SUPPOSE
MY LIMBS CAN HANDLE TRIMMING, BUT I DON’T CHOOSE WHAT I SHED AND WHAT REGROWS
YOU CALL THAT LIVING? COME BACK WHEN THE AX MAN’S STOOD ON YOUR TOES, AND IT SHOWS
 
I’VE BEEN ADDING BRANCHES
WITHOUT ADDING RINGS
[HEY, I’M SAVING YOU A SEAT, UNDERNEATH THE FAMILY TREE]
I’VE BEEN ADDING BRANCHES
[HEY, I’M SAVING YOU A SEAT, UNDERNEATH THE FAMILY TREE]
I’VE BEEN ADDING BRANCHES

[DON’T CHOP DOWN THE FAMILY TREE, CUZ ITS BIGGER THAN YOU AND ITS BIGGER THAN ME]
I’VE BEEN ADDING BRANCHES
[DON’T CHOP DOWN THE FAMILY TREE]
WITHOUT ADDING RINGS
 
I WASN’T PART OF THE SURVEY, IT ISN’T PART OF THE CURVE THEY HAD DRAWN AND AT DAWN WE’LL BE SURE, AND SORRY AND GAY, EVEN IF THEY TRY TO TELL US ITS WRONG
AND IF IT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE, THERE WAS NEVER A DISTANCE SO SMALL I COULD STRAY

RESPLENDENT AS THE GARDEN GROWS,
THERE ARE THINGS ONLY THE GARDENER KNOWS
I GAVE YOU APPLES, YOU WANTED A BENCH, AND IT SHOWS
THERE’S NO ROOM IN THE WAITING ROOM
PLEASE STAY IN YOUR GARDEN
THE WIND IS STARTING TO CHILL, AND THE ICE STARTS TO HARDEN
THERE’S NO ROOM IN THE WAITING ROOM
PLEASE STAY IN YOUR GARDEN
THERE’S NO ROOM IN THE WAITING ROOM
PLEASE STAY IN YOUR GARDEN
UNDERNEATH THE FAMILY TREE

about

Fox Heavy image

Fox Heavy Portland, Oregon

Joe, Sam, Bennett, Tom and their trusty spirit fox/muse, Balthazar, find normal life has begun spinning into chaos. A rapidly aging narcissist with a predilection for calculated turmoil finds himself at the helm and positions himself at odds with formerly strangled-silent minorities. An invisible health crisis preys on the collaterals of ignorance & greed. Balthazar says "play for each other" ... more
