Green Thumb Lyrics

Count the rings to the tree of knowledge of good and evil

My green thumb abashed by every single

Failed attempt to tell the age

Fantasies that feel like fate

I swear to God

But I heed Satan's truth

That apple will always rot

But still begin to convict you

In my empty thoughts

I still stutter and repeat

Some gibberish as a front

So I don't have to speak

Dig up the Ferns and the lessons we've learned

Ignore the body that I left there half burned

And the fossilized frog near the top is doing better

He got what he wanted. Stagnant forever

I'm possessed but not

Inescapably damned and doomed

Just a little bit distraught

And afraid to be alone in a room

Because the thought

Of being caught up in the gloom

Is a romance that I want

Get drunk and get my ass whooped

I'm sorry, my psyche slipped out

I'm out of money

And it's $6 dollars for a gallon

Of kerosene. I've got a hotel key

And a UV light that's blistering

And I can only expect that to drown

Out any memory

That brings the harvest to drought

An apartment just across the street

The famine before the feast

I'm sorry, my psyche slipped out

It's not funny

Disguised in the crowd

Well, mind is the gutter and soul is the trench

You'll get the silent treatment cause I'm a hypocrite

I fell apart

I bet my sponsor would think so too

This fortune that I've got

Replaced by charcoal fumes

So begins the hunt

I got friends I need to kill

Watchin them run

Well, that's the art of the thrill
