Living Tree - Wild Child

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
