The tranquil sight of an easy river deceives the world--
That glassy water hides red medicine.

Cupping the water to my lips
It was sweet and savory,
Iron-rich and good to discover
Deepening the reach to every muscle

I saw the river nymph picking up sorrows and breaking them on her knee,
Her eyes looked sad or something but she was hella cute,
Building up a campfire to keep herself warm

How much longer can you be the secret of the wilderness?
We walked for miles through the trees
And she elaborated on red medicine, pouring nectar in my ears.

You hovered, still glowing when my skin hissed and spat black pus
You waited in the rain for my organs to warm up
Caressing my forehead
Like a faithful sentry

Take my stones and round them out,
I'll pitch my tent here on this riverbed
And we'll laugh along with the sunset,
Skipping them.
