You see me so pretty You think me so smart You breathe me so healthy My body your art ----- Hear it burn, crackling dry Rivers slither along the side Between the hills the creatures cry Their homes removed and left to die Steal the gold from the land Strip it bare and burn it down If you rip roots from the ground It will all come back around Glimmering hope lies in the land Beneath the earth, under the sand You aren't aware, but it's coming back The life you stole, the sticky sap ----- Serves you right, you nervous bastard Bleed And the beauty invades Invades us all ----- Today will always be better Than the hell you faced today ----- Sometimes you need scars To help you remember Teach me a lesson ----- Give me what I need And I'll be the best You have ever wanted ===== create |
