lyrics

I was planted in the dark
Was watered by the rain
Sloughing off from the bark of my neighbours
I pushed outside my shell
and ate up all the dirt that would stop me
from reaching the sun

Naked and trembling, I learned how it works:
The tallest and biggest will always feed first
I lapped up the leavings and whispered through leaves
"One day, I'll grow up like you"

I learned to thread my roots
Learned the warp and weft
Tightened my grip on them slowly
I learned to thread my roots
To drink the elders dry
Serves them right
Thought they'd steal all my sunlight

Fragile and dying, they learned how it works:
The smallest and smartest will learn to feed first
Out of the woodwork and in on the breeze
Grow up to look just like you

I fought my way to life
I grew to love the dark
Hiding my shoots blooming strangely
I have counted every breath
Watched your every step
Someday I will taste the sunlight

Skin cinched like hand-me-down clothes, I convulse
I'll stop your heartbeat to feel my own pulse
Stretching my nerves out for warmth within reach
Waiting to feel something new
