Lyrics

Verse 1

Palm trees scratch the bruised sky

Salt air tastes like rust

Bougainvillea crawling up

Like fingers through the dust

Pre-Chorus

They paved the paradise

Hung the signs up neon bright

But the roots remember

What the concrete tries to hide

Chorus

Coconut Grove bleeds

Through the cracks in the street

Every whisper in the breeze

Is a promise I can't keep

Coconut Grove bleeds

And the ocean turns to wine

Drink it down slow

While the poison unwinds

Verse 2

White walls and million dollar views

Cover up the rot

I walked the old paths after midnight

Found what time forgot

Pre-Chorus

Same moon over Commodore

Where the freaks and dreamers played

Now it's just a ghost town

With a pretty new facade

Chorus

Coconut Grove bleeds

Through the cracks in the street

Every whisper in the breeze

Is a promise I can't keep

Coconut Grove bleeds

And the ocean turns to wine

Drink it down slow

While the poison unwinds

Bridge

Progress is a hungry god

Devours everything

Banyan trees and boarded doors

The hollow song they sing

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Coconut Grove bleeds

Through the cracks in the street

Every whisper in the breeze

Is a promise I can't keep

Coconut Grove bleeds

And the ocean turns to wine

Drink it down slow

While the poison unwinds

Outro

(Mm)

Palm shadows

Palm shadows

On the ground

On the ground
