You were a child

crawlin' on your knees toward it

Makin' mama so proud

But your voice was too loud

We like to watch you laughing

You pick the insects off plants

No time to think of consequences

Control yourself

take only what you need from it

A family of trees wantin' to be haunted

Control yourself

take only what you need from it

A family of trees wantin' to be haunted

The water is warm

but it's sending me shivers

A baby is born crying out for attention

Memories fade

like looking through a fogged mirror

Decision to decisions are made and not bought

But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot I guess not

Control yourself

take only what you need from it

A family of trees wantin' to be haunted

Control yourself

take only what you need from it

A family of trees wantin' to be haunted

Control yourself

take only what you need from it

A family of trees wantin' to be haunted

Control yourself

take only what you need from it

A family of trees wantin' to be haunted

Control yourself

take only what you need from it

A family of trees wantin' to be haunted

Control yourself

take only What you need from it

a family of trees
