[Verse 1]
From what tree
Do these leaves fall
That now lay upon your head?
Emblazoned upon
Your forlorn brow
The tragedy of a withered crown
[Verse 2]
From what grove
Do these roots spread
That now search for richer soils?
Reaching up
To break the ground
And wrap you in its lonely gown
[Verse 3]
And ever you crawl
Deeper within yourself
In hopes to quell the pain
You've allowed to define you
Every thought becomes a seed
That grows into a vine of guilt
[Verse 4]
And every day, its grip grows tighter
And you've become its slave
Yet still you fear
The shell you'll become
Asking yourself
"Who would I be in its absence?"
