Hollow Be My Name Lyrics - Singles - Eleventh He Reaches London

I work on earth 

Baron and brown 

smuggling seedlings 

Something will grow 

I watch the seeds 

Turning a tree 

Foreign insects 

Trespass the leaves 

I work on earth 

Baron and brown 

Frail and sunburnt 

Unlike my tree 

It strains away 

Gathering Height 

Closer to God but 

Further from me 

It joined the earth 

Baron and brown 

Same in context 

I hated its sight 

I tore the limbs 

Stripped off the bark 

If I can't grow here 

Neither will he 

I'm allowed to grow 

In the vision of God 

But he'll strip off my bark if I grow to the world 

I'm allowed to live 

As a symbol of birth 

But nothing, no nothing, is ever, ever allowed 

I'm allowed to grow 

In the vision of God 

But he'll tear off my limbs if i grow to the world 

I'm allowed to curse him 

If he's the one that built me 

I'm allowed to use his fucking name in vain 

I dream sleeping beneath it 

I dream being its father 

Teaching all there is to teach abou the world 

I'll stretch out my limbs 

And outgrow this fucking world 

If it gets me killed then so be it 'cause 

I'm tired of the world 

and the world is tired of me 

The tree won't grow and nor the world around me 

I never knew that I'd destroy it all 

I could plant a seed and grow another tree 

But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
