Ticking Timebomb Lyrics by Toby Driver

Raven, I Know That You Can Give Me Anything

0

I cut my teeth on a towheaded boy when I was nineteen
One average day my mother called me
Near where we played, there is a forest with a tree
Asham'ed and knotty
Silently waiting for a visit from me
I cry for the tree
Is she guilty?
First taste of a real sin
A child should never see
Too young to behold its inspiring power
Too young to know there would be so many
Violent and common
But thank you, Tommy
For opening the door for me
I still cry for the tree
Is she waiting?
In a darkened grove she stands forlorn
Shе was made into the witch of the wood
Hеr boughs outstretched to give shade and play
And nuts on a breezy walking day
Now condemned to hold the ropes
Praying for the storms
To break her arms
To burn her leaves
Is she guilty?
Four years in sainthood as the only one
Soon become the king of a pantheon
At last I say I didn't cry for him
His mother and father
Hopelessly praying to wake from their dream
But I cried for the tree
Is she waiting?
In a darkened grove she stands forlorn
She was made into the witch of the wood
Her boughs outstretched to give shade and play
And nuts on a breezy walking day
Now condemned to hold the ropes
Praying for the storms
To break her arms
To burn her leaves
Is she waiting for me?
