Lyrics

You’re Shadow is Dark
Your Shadow is cold
But someday I’d like to cast shadows of my own
But when you’re near I just can’t reach the light
When you’re gone I shine for you so bright
Your Roots bruise my mouth
Your rage is strong
But some day I’ll rustle these leaves of my own
And when I do you’ll know it’s not okay
When you’re near I scrape for words to say.

Chorus:
I need time. And I need space
So I can grow tall like the Sequoias
And I can look you in the face.

But I’m just the child and you’re the grown up
You come home so tired I try hard not to wake you up
But it seems you never ever want to play
You just say I’m always in your way

Break

If I am the apple and you are the tree
I’d sacrifice my sweet to become a bitter leaf
And pray for heavy winds to set me free
And Zephyr me away from Poison Trees.

Chorus:
So I need time and I need space
Maybe I’ll get drunk like a grown up
Maybe I’ll Slap you on the face
And say “Hey, Where you been?”
“Hey, Where you been
All my life?”
