lyrics

There’s no bark on this tree
Children think it’s funny
Stripped of leaves
(Prior to all that I heard, all that they said)
The coldness leaves it fleshy and vulnerable
(I swear I was so strong)

Children laugh and break all of it branches
To prove that even they
Can uproot something so sturdy
The fire crackles cricks and crackles
They dance around their horrid victory
‘Till the flame dies out

Now all that’s left
(Now I know)
Is bark dead and white
(What I did wrong)
And in the grass
(Why I can’t be the same)
The birds tell it
(Once I believed)
It can be a tree again
(One mean thing)
But it knows it’s just a pile of wood in the ground
(All the nice things felt wrong)
