The roots sprout from the floorboards
They tether to my spine
I can hear the walls breathe
A storm of leaves envelop me
Each branch; beautiful fruit
Each piece, a memory
Paintings of days gone by
That I deprived of sunlight
The roots sprout from the floorboards
They tether to our spines
Tree trunks coated white keep the citrus alive
I come undone
My spine becomes mangled by your roots
My limbs deconstruct and grow anew
The threads come apart
Ripping at the seams
I try so desperately
To bury it beneath
I can't hide this hideousness
No one knows
No one knows
Pick up your feet and run, boy
The flesh doesn't matter anyway
I am what once was me
I come undone
They tether to my spine
I can hear the walls breathe
A storm of leaves envelop me
Each branch; beautiful fruit
Each piece, a memory
Paintings of days gone by
That I deprived of sunlight
The roots sprout from the floorboards
They tether to our spines
Tree trunks coated white keep the citrus alive
I come undone
My spine becomes mangled by your roots
My limbs deconstruct and grow anew
The threads come apart
Ripping at the seams
I try so desperately
To bury it beneath
I can't hide this hideousness
No one knows
No one knows
Pick up your feet and run, boy
The flesh doesn't matter anyway
I am what once was me
I come undone
