lyrics
This family tree
Is rotten inside of me
All those names on the wall
That just don't relate to me
No depression don't run
It limps in my family
And ever since I've been backing away
So slowly
Boy where did you get it from
Boy where did you get it from me?
You better watch your mouth
Where did you learn those words you speak
In this house, under my roof
You take after me
This family tree
Has taken a hold on me
Passed down, I'm passed out
Branching out to the fallen leaves
Boy where did you get it from
Boy where did you get it from me?
You better watch your mouth
Where did you learn those words you speak
In this house, under my roof
You take after me
I guess that one apple
Could spoil the bunch
I was bobbing with my head
While all you did was watch
When i picked it from the tree
I think that it picked me
So when I carved in my initials
The roots were too deep to see
After me, after me
I guess you take
Is rotten inside of me
All those names on the wall
That just don't relate to me
No depression don't run
It limps in my family
And ever since I've been backing away
So slowly
Boy where did you get it from
Boy where did you get it from me?
You better watch your mouth
Where did you learn those words you speak
In this house, under my roof
You take after me
This family tree
Has taken a hold on me
Passed down, I'm passed out
Branching out to the fallen leaves
Boy where did you get it from
Boy where did you get it from me?
You better watch your mouth
Where did you learn those words you speak
In this house, under my roof
You take after me
I guess that one apple
Could spoil the bunch
I was bobbing with my head
While all you did was watch
When i picked it from the tree
I think that it picked me
So when I carved in my initials
The roots were too deep to see
After me, after me
I guess you take

Romance 126
by Snow Mantled LoveA soon to be bedroom pop classic, with all the nuances of Sigur Ros, and the fragile modern beauty of Keaton Henson. This record is haunting and nostalgic in its closeness.
