[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Stand down, stand down
Why do you build your towers?
(Stand down, stand down)
(Why do you build your towers?)
My best defenses fall apart at my weakest hours
I try and I try to build these walls up to the sky
But all I have become is a walking, breathing empire of lies
[Chorus]
(Bury my body) my corpse-shaped seed
(Start all over, just like a tree)
My bones like roots, my tongue like leaves
(We'll grow back deeper)
Because trees they grow back stronger
Hearts they grow back stronger
They will grow back meeker
And I will grow back stronger
[Intro]
[Verse 2]
Wake up, wake up! We are all on fire
We're walking torches fueled by our own desires
And I'm am no exception
I'm the perfect formulaic, failure combination
Too much confidence, three parts desperation
I'm gonna sever my head (to get a different point of view)
[Chorus]
(Bury my body) my corpse-shaped seed
(Start all over, just like a tree)
My bones like roots, my tongue like leaves
(We'll grow back deeper)
Because trees they grow back stronger
Hearts they grow back stronger
They will grow back meeker
(And I will grow back stronger)
[Bridge] x2
This is the pride before the fall
I'm waving my skin like a white flag
Tear down your castle walls
Speak now the story of us all
[Chorus]
(Bury my body) my corpse-shaped seed
(Start all over, just like a tree)
My bones like roots, my tongue like leaves
(We'll grow back deeper)
Because trees they grow back stronger
Hearts they grow back stronger
They will grow back meeker
(And I will grow back stronger)
[Outro]
