lyrics

Why's your halo around your neck?
Put it back up above your head
If you can, then you you should
Tell them what you withstood here on Earth

Your ice is thick enough; start walking
Keep them from giving up; put on your frock and
Vestments of purple and green
Be seen, as you saw me

All they need is a pair of ears
Hang them loosely; say, "I am here."
Then sit back and just look
Make them feel understood for once

Your ice is thick enough; start walking
Keep them from giving up; put on your frock and
Vestments of purple and green
Be seen, as you saw me

It seems flimsy, doesn't it?
Trust in it
Remember, when it creaks and cracks, you put leaves and grass underneath
Teach them to do the same
Some will; some won't; no matter
Because if that ice should shatter underfoot
You stand ready to ask again,
"Now do you understand
Why it's time to gather sticks and leaves and needles from trees?"
You stand ready to ask again,
"I see your ice, but what's underneath?"

Watch for bodies of water still
Never know what's beyond this hill
But you'll see; they will help you
You saw them through hell. Now look up

It's frozen over now; walk freely
Keep looking forward now; you'll see me
Smiling and tending my brush
Doesn't take much

Queen Cabbage New York, New York

Originating in late 2017 at SUNY Purchase, Queen Cabbage is a folky art rock band dedicated to synthesizing silliness, seriousness, life, death, the beautiful, and the grotesque into earnest, powerful, emotionally immediate music for eager feet to dance and stumble to, for thoughtful hearts to beat and break to, and—most importantly—for authority figures to disapprove of.
