Dirt Around the Tree

Lyrics
I was born in the fall The season when everything is dying We must know what we're in for That's why we come into this world crying My mother always told me life's not fair That’s probably why I ran away I don't think that I felt safe at home And I don't think that's ever gonna change Tell me, what's at the root of all my guilt and anger? What's in the dirt around the tree Heartbreak runs in the family That's why I'm still running from me I read that trauma is genetic Who was the first to hand it down? Was it my grandpa or his father? You can't ask someone who ain't around Tell me, what's at the root of all my guilt and anger? What's in the dirt around the tree? Heartbreak runs in the family That's why I'm still running from me I wanna be more than a lost little girl I'm gonna grow up someday Maybe I'll plant another family tree Somewhere far, far away Far from the root of my all guilt and anger The blood in the dirt and on the leaves Tell me, what's at the root of all my guilt and anger? Am I who I'm supposed to be? Heartbreak runs in the family That's why I'm still running from me Heartbreak runs in the family Why am I still running from me?
