lyrics
I think I made this tree grow
dig it out
climb up x2
screaming mom slow down
i’m the only sick soul
just bringing on
I wish i was not so troubling
I’d be all about fun
I’ve been crying all night
in my pillow
I don’t know why i still
staring at you
I’m a trippy boy locked in in my body
I’ve been tripping from night till the morning
I’ve been looking for something in ma pocket
I’ve just ended up building a little rocket
counting all the trees praying on my knees
dancing with the beasts
running from the priests
I was looking for some trouble all the years
I’m the danger i’m the danger
hey don’t climb on that tree
stay down here
get back on your knees
don’t make your momma cry
give up all your dreams
stay under my skin
I know nobody can touch you
till I’m near
