Autumn (US-MN) - The Hating Tree lyrics

do you want to know what this has done to me? the rage pours down into pools of grieving oh and your smiles turn to leprosy turn to sickness spread into your hearts and the pain sinks roots which smother all but have borne a seedling - a life of hatred and distrust you lied in ways. . . you never should have spoken acceptance conditional your honesty with fingers crossed behind my back become the blade that stabs me over and over and over and over again this time the betrayal is forever this time will have been the last time i believe to have given my self away but now there is a new me so proud to be the hating tree my arms out-stretched - they will withstand most everything now there is a new me so sad to be the hating tree as an offering i gave oh me, my self the madness and the laughter insight a love so full and a mirror that once told me to believe again now cries with me for the loss i know too well oh and the pain sinks roots which smother all but have borne a seedling - a life of hatred and distrust for you lied in ways. . . you never should have spoken acceptance conditional your honesty with fingers crossed behind my back become the blade that stabs me over and over and over and over again but this time the betrayal is forever this time will have been the last time i believe to have given my soul away now there is a new me so proud to be the hating tree my arms out-stretched - they will withstand most everything now there is a new me so sad to be the hating tree
