Fruitless Lyrics

It came as no surprise

When I lost another life that I had dreamt up

Like a mountain in the wind

Wondering what it could have been if it weren't made of rock

I thought that I'd learned better but I had not

You gotta pull up all the roots before they rot

We can blame it on the heat

Why a thousand perfect seeds just did not sprout

But it's a fruitless summer now

And in the shadow of your doubt I found a place to cool off

I thought that I'd learned better but I had not

You gotta pull up all the roots before they rot

Well she's invasive like a weed

What a toxic place to be alone in love

I thought you wanted more

Than a siren off the shore calling you out

I'll wonder if I ever cross your mind

As the woman who's love you fought like the tides

Or how many times will you regress

To a siren who kills new love before it spreads

I'll wonder if I ever cross your mind

As the woman who's love you returned with lies

Or how many times will you regress

To a siren who kills new love before it spreads
