California Birch Tree
Atop a lonely hill
There stands a tree as white as milk
It holds the memories of
The people I once was
And now I watch it
Burn
Oh, Lord, where did I go wrong
Haunted by the ghosts of possibility
No matter if I'm sleeping
Or when I'm awake
I can't escape
The burning California Birch Tree
And when I think back
On the child that I was
I know they'd be disappointed in me
I'm sorry, my love, I
Couldn't get us what we wanted
But I clawed us out
A place to live
I only wanted paradise
So I didn't think twice
I set fire to the tree
And there I built my home
I remade myself with the old
Bones
There stands a tree as white as milk
It holds the memories of
The people I once was
And now I watch it
Burn
Oh, Lord, where did I go wrong
Haunted by the ghosts of possibility
No matter if I'm sleeping
Or when I'm awake
I can't escape
The burning California Birch Tree
And when I think back
On the child that I was
I know they'd be disappointed in me
I'm sorry, my love, I
Couldn't get us what we wanted
But I clawed us out
A place to live
I only wanted paradise
So I didn't think twice
I set fire to the tree
And there I built my home
I remade myself with the old
Bones
