Willow By The Shore Lyrics

Is this a screen?

That's keeping us apart, the hardest part is learning how to wear my heart

On my sleeve

I think that I forgot, got caught up in the moment, lost the forest

For the trees

I'm sinking through the roots, my boots will flood with soil, suits me fine if

I can scream

With no regrets, my silhouette reflects the shape that I've conceived of

In my dreams

It's not obscene

'Cause you don't understand. No, I am not a man, I'm not the only one who

Lives like me

Yet here we are to blame. We all feel pain the same, you fan the flame while we're

Left to bleed

You're horrified, I'm sure. I'm oh-so reassured by all the ways you've called

Me a freak

Declare you want to care, but I am well aware that that's not what you

Really mean

There's a willow by the shore

Gently rustles in the breeze

Secrets hide in dresser drawers

Things she's scared that you might see

Tear her out the closet door

Kick her out and watch her flee

She can't scare you anymore

Hanging there out by the sea

Hollow baby blues

See them staring back at you

Wishing you could understand

I wish I knew

Just how to make it click, but fascist politics ain't meant to tick, so I'm lost

In milieu

While you all have a take, we get caught in the wake, it's hard to fake like you

Have a clue

The writing's on the wall, you hope we take the fall, but we both know it's

All on you

It's time to make a choice: Will you break through the noise or let it tell you

What to do

There's a willow by the shore

Gently rustles in the breeze

Secrets hide in dresser drawers

Things she's scared that you might see

Tear her out the closet door

Kick her out and watch her flee

She can't scare you anymore

Hanging there out by the sea

Hollow baby blues

See them staring back at you

Wishing you could understand

Hollow baby blues

See them staring back at you

Wishing you could

Wishing you could

Wishing you could understand
