lyrics

you know how it goes
the hero dies or the hero goes home
ginkgo was mostly fine
except for when left alone

she didn't mean to but she started a fire in her own mind
it took only one bite to do it, to end her life
left to her own devices

ginkgo and the story of &
don't understand
how it came to be

my dog don't know the story of the ampersand
and to be frank
neither do we

so this was it
she liked how it felt but not what it meant
here in the now
she wanders around guiding the dead

it wasn't intentional and she doesn't know why
but she can't change anything and she's sorry that everybody dies
i'm stuck on the endings always

ginkgo and the story of &
don't understand
how it came to be

my dog don't know the story of the ampersand
and to be frank
neither do we

we all knew that we were sick but not that we had been poisoned
hey dot dot dot are you up followed by a question mark
i never know which words to say

ginkgo and the story of &
don't understand
how it came to be

my dog don't know the story of the ampersand
and to be frank
neither do we
