China (voice memo) Lyrics

I treat my love as if its plotted

By a big man in a silver sky

I flip the cards that say I'm wanted

And when they leave, I'll ask why

If I keep on digging to China

It'll keep getting hotter on my hands

If I keep on holding mercury

Maybe it'll burn through and land

I bought the jewels they all said they wanted

Like that ice cream in a child's hand

I thought i knew just how I'd spot him

It hit different when he cut up my plant

If they say, I'm just there to buy 'em

I can't laugh cause that's how I learned

If I keep on ending whats standing on two feet

Who am I to say that I'm the one who's burned?

I went back to blue and cut down all my trees

Tried having lavender in the yard

And when I think back its hammocks and scraped knees

My shoulder still holds the weight and scars

If I keep on digging to China

It'll keep getting hotter on my hands

If I keep on holding mercury

Maybe it'll burn through and land

Maybe it'll burn through and land
