Emily Franke - Mother Nature (lonely version)

We were too naive to see it
So Mother Nature called us out
Emblematized future dying friendship
With a tree through the house

Symbolism breaking branches
Roof falls above your head
Structure built for 3 years
Crumbles down quickly instead

But the skeleton was never sound
Wish we knew to get out
Wish we knew to get out

Pictures of an ex quietly taken down
Feeling guilty, no concrete reason why
They had their chance to atone
Now misery has got me in a choke hold

A "take no prisoners" rule
Once harmonic tune turned dissonant
So fast it made me cruel
I've never felt this mad

But the skeleton was never sound
Wish we knew to get out
Wish we knew to get out

I won't greet with fake smiles like you do
I've no need to mollify
I'm not afraid of your whiplash responses
Acting like we told you to go hide
I'll snuff out the flames from the fire
Gaslighting is so 421
Is he someone you'd die for
he's someone you lie for
There's nothing to fake now you ruined it all yourself

But the skeleton was never sound
Wish we knew to get out
Wish we knew to get out

We were too naive to see it
So Mother Nature called us out
Emblematized future dying friendship
With a tree through the house
