about

Vocal Sample from "The Yellow Wallpaper," by Charolette Perkins Gilman, as read by Addie Davis.

lyrics

Come down soon from your tree branch,
‘Cause there are predators lurking near you.

Come down soon, this is the way it’ll end,
With all these vultures circling your bones.

There is no stopping nature,
It’s kill or be killed,
Or both in due time.

So come down soon, O little egret!
Let’s face the world proper,
And go out with a bang.

Make your home down by the ocean,
Your feet in the ground and wind at your back.

And as the tides roll against your favor,
Keep yourself steady,
As nighttime moves in.

So make your last stand,
‘Cause you should defend,
If this is the end,
If this is the end.

Then make your last stand,
‘Cause you should defend,
If this is the end,
Draw blood.

(But do let us go downstairs, there are such pretty rooms there!)
