Weed Whacker Lyrics

Intimacy a fragile plant

That takes years to grow and bloom

A crippled stem the rotten stench

From poisoned soil to root

And still despite this repulsive apparition

I thought I could love this weed

In wild mutation

I could never find

My free will in coercion

You could never see

The beauty in my perversion

With the deep desires open inside out

the babylike self-centeredness

So frequently turned down

It's not the freedom that I meant

This is solitude settling in

It's not the freedom that I meant

This is solitude settling in

The metaphors bring honesty to a higher definition

Express the inexpressible and still strike a false note

The two of us are both listening to old melodies

Of doubt pain and decision

I could never find

My free will in coercion

You could never see

The beauty in my perversion

With the deep desires open inside out

the babylike self-centeredness

So frequently turned down

It's not the freedom that I meant

This is solitude settling in

It's not the freedom that I meant

This is solitude settling in

It's not the freedom that I meant

(I am not putting the blame)

This is solitude settling in

(Anywhere that isnʼt here)

It's not the freedom that I meant

(I will keep you in my mind )

This is solitude settling in

(as the loved one you once were)
