Lyrics

I grew out of everything I watched grow
All my flowers and my hours lined up in a row
And plenty of crows
turned to sparrows
and left this house
as melted snow
Breathing free
living meat
ghost of a tree
ghost of a tree
ghost of a tree
Out of all the hollows that live in my sleep
My grandmother is the house collapsing in on me
of empty feet
hung from hooks D
now trapped in wood D
in layers of stone
poachers milk
that tastes like dirt D
so babys hurt
ghost of a tree
If I could hold you like a wren
Like I wanted to
I'd whisper and
say something
that covered you
embraced your lungs and said
I'm sorry
I murdered you
I had to
The dogs told me to
The dogs told me to
