I will be
A tree climber
I will not know gravity
I will not know gravity
Leaves
Like instruments, dig down
Digging long enough
To find peace
Strip down peel and husk
Use my claws and teeth
Be a lot like fire
Be a fuel
Be your
Scrape down deep down
Hands in dirty ground
Down deep down
Hands in dirty ground
I will be
A tree climber
I will not know gravity
I will not know gravity
Leaves
Like instruments, dig down
Digging long enough
To find peace
Strip down peel and husk
Use the claws and teeth
Be a lot like fire
Be a fuel
Be your
Scrape down deep down
Hands in dirty ground
Down deep down
Hands in dirty ground
Strip down peel and husk
Use my claws and teeth
Be a lot like fire
Be a fuel
Be your
Scrape down deep down
Hands in dirty ground
Down deep down
Hands in dirty ground
Hands in dirty ground
