Lilac Tree

Yeah mother bless her heart, she knows there's nothing she can do
To warm you, from this cold
Yeah prophets think they speak the truth but they are smiling fragile
And will bleed, just like you
And if you thought that you knew

Underneath the lilac tree she buried all my melodies
And left me with a hungry heart
And now I'm left on earthly ground to find what never will be found
And piece my broken world somehow
No I don't know, no
No I don't know where to start

Your problems seem like hurricanes that bat into the universe
And realize, they are, you don't mean a thing
So do attach to outer space and lock your doors
So people, oh, forget your face
No you do not

Underneath the karma tree she buried all my citrus seed
And left me with a hungry heart
And now I'm left on earthly ground to find what never will be found
And piece my broken world somehow
No I don't know, no
No I don't know where to start

Now everything you thought you know was scattered on the floor
And you gotta think what you gonna pick up
So go to school and clean your room and realize that you were happier
When you never knew
So now you know, kid

Underneath the lilac tree she buried all my melodies
And left me with a hungry heart
And now I'm left on earthly ground to find what never will be found
And piece my broken world somehow
No I don't know, no
I know I don't know
I know I don't know where to start
