i had my guitar nearby so i did a thing. gemini and claud helped with lyrics
Verse 1:
Built up bigger than bricks to hide you in
I seed trees to grow my legacy
Tiny treasure held within,
A mighty oak will soon be born from
This acorn, so small and so slight,
It holds the future inside
I hear you crunching the time until the stopwatch chimes,
Should I surrender or am I alone in this?
Verse 2:
Squirrels and robins gather round,
Their secrets hidden under ground.
They know the strength these seeds possess,
We're strong when we're quiet.
CHORUS:
Watch me watching the trees breathe,
I smell like copper and ivory
I need some time to get myself figured out
I'm so sorry I'm sorry
I wish THAT I'd watched you die - I wish I'd left you there lying on the ground
I wish THAT I could make your voice leaf me
I wish THAT I had left you deleted
from my mind
I want to tear you apart
Verse 3:
The acorn rests heavy in my palm
A reminder that growth can emerge from calm
Though rage and grief wage war inside me
The quiet strength of nature shall be my guide
I envision a towering oak's embrace
Its roots grounding me to this time and place
To nurture the seed I must tend the soil
Of my weathered soul with patience, not toil
Outro:
The acorn, small and slight,
Once held a future, burning bright.
And as its branches touch the sky,
One day, like the oak, I'll learn to rise above it all.
