Rose K. Lyrics - How We Quit The Forest - Rasputina

She doesn't know the man 

Who tries to push her wheelchair in the sand 

She just looks out to sea 

He's talking endlessly 

Oh, why won't he shut up 

I take my medicine 

I crush the paper cup 

Oh, maybe he's my son 

And he's come to set me free 

She knows that she forgot 

That there's a story, and she 

Can't recall the plot 

Of course her family fought 

Over the furniture 

Oh I don't know why they 

Have taken all my favorite things away 

But one thing, that's for sure 

I don't know what they were 

They say a stone is a marker 

And that it has weight 

They say it's solid 

But it can deteriorate 

The air is like a hand 

Reminding her of all the things she's planned 

Like air that thought is gone 

Never to come again 

We came out to the beach 

To find the mind I've lost, and cannot reach 

I used to keep it here 

It was much cleaner then 

They say a rose is a flower 

And that it is red 

It blooms, it grows, it wilts 

And then it's dead 

They say a stone is a marker 

And that it has weight 

They say it's solid 

But it can deteriorate 

They say a rose is a flower 

And that it is red 

It blooms, it grows, it wilts 

And then it's dead 

Oh, Rose Kennedy
