about

An ode to the emotional pains of being human.

lyrics

I stand silent, til the sun travels under me
And my legs weaken slowly, til I lay 'em down in the old oak tree and it
Feels so soft now (and I want everything)
All my pain paid for me to feel this way

I starve slowly, til my tongue aches helplessly
And my belly shifts inside of me, til I take a bite from the apple tree and it
Tastes so strong now (and I want everything)
All my hunger has brought me to this taste

Oh, the child I see
Is wrapped up in a blanket with hot cocoa in his hands and
Oh, the way I'll be
Is satiated with a bird pecking my eyes out
Oh, the child I see
Is jumping into piles of leaves with wide-eyed splendor
Oh, the way I'll be
Is giving everything I have and wanting nothing

I would, smother you but you need your space and
Let's gather my needs and watch them flood the basement up til
I am drowning in them lost and faceless

I stand on the hilltop and I say: one, two, three, four
I stand on the hilltop and I say: I need nothing
I stand on the hilltop and I say: I want everything

Oh, the child I see
Is wrapped up in a blanket with hot cocoa in his hands and
Oh, the way I'll be
Is satiated with a bird pecking my eyes out
Oh, the child I see
Is pumping on his swing until he reaches treetops
Oh, the way I'll be
Is baking apple pies for neighbors that I don't know

I would, smother you but you need your space and
Let's gather my needs and watch them flood the basement up til
I am drowning in them lost and faceless
