King Nun – Black Tree lyrics

[Verse 1]
Black roots in the ground, soak the water out the rivers
Telephone back home, tell her what she's missing
Polaroids washing up on the shore
There are pictures of girls, and words like "forever" written

[Refrain]
Like a spider racing into the sky
There's a black tree rising and no one knows why
Get's stuck in your shoes, it get's under your clothes
The wind it's blowing cuts down to the bone

[Pre-Chorus 1]
All Hell does know my name, a black tree rising
I'm the shade that'll put you away, a black tree rising
Hope you don't mind if I close the door
See that right there is true romance, I'm sure

[Chorus]
Get up, shut up, I have a friend that knows your name
I know what you're thinking
You won't go outside, because you haven't been sleeping
And it wouldn't be nice if she knew
You were acting like a spider racing into the sky
There's a black tree rising and no one knows why
Get's stuck in your shoes, it get's under your clothes
The wind it's blowing cuts down to the bone

[Verse 2]
It's impaling daylight, like it cut a deal with a knight
Who got her foot in the door
And the little wooden soldiers stand guard
'Til a bloody black hoof came down from the Heaven's that sent them

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Like spiders racing into the sky
Like spiders racing into the sky

[Chorus]
Get up, shut up, I have a friend that knows your name
I know what you're thinking
You won't go outside, because you haven't been sleeping
And it wouldn't be nice if she knew
You were acting like a spider racing into the sky
There's a black tree rising and no one knows why
Get's stuck in your shoes, it get's under your clothes
The wind it's blowing cuts down to the bone
