Shellmounds

All they destroy
And all they threw away
Is all that remains behind when they leave
And is found in their precious mounds

Oh, it breaks my heart in two
Both to hold you in my arms and imagine
What we may leave behind
Oh, it breaks my heart in two
To imagine all the bones
All the bones and shards and shattered shells
That we may leave behind

For all we destroy
And all we throw away
Is all that remains behind when we leave
And is found in our precious mounds

Oh, it breaks my heart in two
Both to hold you in my arms and imagine
What we may leave behind
Oh, it breaks my heart in two
To imagine all the bones
All the bones and shards and shattered shells
That we may leave behind

I don't want to imagine
All the broken
So many broken
All the broken
Too many broken
Shells
In our shellmound
In our shellmound

I don't want to imagine
All the broken
So many broken
All the broken
Too many broken
Shells
In our shellmound
In our shellmound
