Skeleton Tree
You, you put your worries in a box
And in a pair of ragged socks
Dug a small hole and buried it outside
And then
After a crazy summer rain
From where the box was buried came this weird beanstalk
Growing from the ground
And soon
You could not believe your eyes
A purple pod that was the size of a small child
Grew off from the vine
And from it came
A little laughing thing of bones
A skeleton that somehow knows all the bad things
That keep you up at night
You're a coward boy it spat
Laughing through its toothy smile
Touting love in every song
But loving like a crocodile
I'm some animated bones
But my heart is twice as big
You ran away when it mattered most
Let her leave this world alone
Alone alone alone
Alone you let her go
You, you put your fingers in your ears
Intercepting all the fears that you no longer lock away inside
And in a pair of ragged socks
Dug a small hole and buried it outside
And then
After a crazy summer rain
From where the box was buried came this weird beanstalk
Growing from the ground
And soon
You could not believe your eyes
A purple pod that was the size of a small child
Grew off from the vine
And from it came
A little laughing thing of bones
A skeleton that somehow knows all the bad things
That keep you up at night
You're a coward boy it spat
Laughing through its toothy smile
Touting love in every song
But loving like a crocodile
I'm some animated bones
But my heart is twice as big
You ran away when it mattered most
Let her leave this world alone
Alone alone alone
Alone you let her go
You, you put your fingers in your ears
Intercepting all the fears that you no longer lock away inside
