Family Trees

I don't like this
Feeling inside me
Trembling branches
Burning fruit trees
Past the garden
Past the grand estate
Father is sleeping
I know he won't wake

For nothing
For something
For anything
For everything

Mothers weeping
For her long lost gold
Hands like Jesus
Nothing she can hold
I'm no better
I'm a feckless waif
Like my brother
I shut my eyes and wait

For nothing
For something
For anything
For everything

We ate our substance
Not where you could see
Gormandizing sugar candy
Learn this lesson
Learn this lesson well
Tame the demons
Or be dragged down to hell

For nothing
For something
For everything
For anything
For everything
