The Darkest Trees I've Ever Seen

from Black Owls by Black Owls

/

about

A song about bad arguments and dead reason. Fun!

lyrics

I crawled out the hole where I was hiding
a choke grey smoke replaced the green
& you fanned the flames that were receding
in the darkest trees I'd ever seen

& I climbed right up to to build a nest there
where you swore I'd never been
you came to see me in my nightmare
they were the darkest trees You've ever seen
would you climb up there for me? Oh, please.

They are stove pipes and they are buildings
and they are women and they are mean
They are reaching out to take you up into
The darkest trees you've ever seen
So would you climb up there for me?
Babe I'm asking you would you please?

Look deep into my eyes
Tell me you don't like what you see
Plenty of dead dreams make my mind
But that don't matter much to me, not me.

Demons and mothers, demons and mothers
Demons and mothers, demons and mothers
they are demons and they are mothers
and they are snakes and drama queens
and they won't get lighter as you get older
They are darkest trees you've ever seen.
They are darkest trees you've ever seen.
