Run around the living tree With my lover standing at my feet The branches mean so much to me But the leaves taste oh so sweet
Run around the living tree I have become what you made of me Can root me down or set me free But I’m not what you should be
Can’t remember last I saw you Walk through that door Can’t remember how we got This blood on the floor Oh baby, thinking I would let you Try and settle the score But it might hurt me now I didn’t feel before
Think I lost my mind and spirits Head full of stone I swear I got home late last night And you weren’t alone Oh baby, thinking all the lies I used To build myself on It’s nights like these that tear The stitches that I’d sewn
Run around the living tree With my lover standing at my feet These branches mean so much to me But the leaves taste oh so sweet
Run around the living tree I have become what you made of me Can root me down or set me free But I’m not what you should be
Spent my nights so bored and restless No reason why Seems I let my youth untie You left her out dry Oh darling, maybe you can hold me down While I can’t scream and cry But now that freedom that I stole into Goodbye
While my eyes start rolling back My head hits the floor Know that I can’t try to see Your face anymore Oh darling, thinking if the clock turned back Please, I’d be at your door But now it’s done, my lesson learned So ends the war
Run around the living tree With my lover standing at my feet These branches mean so much to me But the leaves taste oh so sweet
Run around the living tree I have become what you made of me Can root me down or set me free But I’m not what you should be
Run around the living tree With my lover standing at my feet Can root me down or set me free But I’m not what you should be
