I'm allowed to grow
In the vision of God
But he'll strip off my bark if
I grow to the
world


I'm allowed to live
As a symbol of birth
But nothing, no nothing, is
ever, ever
allowed

I'm allowed to grow
In the vision of God
But he'll tear off my limbs if I
grow to the
world

I'm allowed to curse him
If he's the one that built me
I'm allowed to use
his fucking name in vain

I dream sleeping beneath it
I dream being its
father
Teaching all there is to teach about the world

I'll stretch out my
limbs
And outgrow this fucking world
If it gets me killed then so be it
'cause
I'm tired of the world
And the world is tired of me

The tree won't
grow and nor the world around
I never knew that I'd destroy it all

I could
plant a seed and grow another tree
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
