Earthquake Learns to Survive Lyrics

Now Earthquake was

Left without a bone to take

Heartbroke, deeply shaken

All she'd known had been erased &

Nothingness swam all around her

An orphaned witch

Committed to survival

Oh Earthquake...

So she settled into the trees

Learned to hunt, to gather, to feed

& repressed all of her grief

Every precious memory

She stopped praying

But kept on singing

Wrecked and twisted rewrote versions

Of the sacred Voices' Hymn

"Oh I'm feeling free, doing as I please

As I glide from sea to song

I say thanks with buckled knees

& I'm blessed when'er I sneeze—"

& the years went by

& she hardly noticed.
