lyrics

You are a gnarled pear tree near an oak that binds your bitter root
Beneath its living branches
Your fingers bend and ache with rotting fruit
I’m sorry, sorry, sorry for my shade
I rooted to protect you
What a stick figure I have made
You are a bitter brother in the shadow of a twin
Strangled in her warm embrace
You have grown up savage mean and thin
I’m sorry, sorry, sorry for my arms
I tried to protect you
I have darkened all your charms
You are a jack o’ lantern
Who woke up on a bitter winter morn’
With your skin soft and sallow
Your short season has now come and gone
I am sorry, sorry, sorry for the time
Your ruined face is some reflection
Of mine
Sorry, sorry, sorry for the time
Your ruined face a perfect mirror of mine
