fig tree - sasha haydn lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
under that fig tree
that grown*ups
warn their children of
my mother was raised up
taken straight from the dirt

unburyin’ ribbons
and b*ttons
her mother kept in the mud
unbothered
by the buds that hung above her

[chorus]
when she was tall enough
to stand and stick out her tongue
my mother bit down
and practiced ballet
raisin’ her brother, with another to come
studying matisse and monet

she never stopped to choose what fruit to taste
she never stop to choose one fruit to take

[verse 2]
detouring to dc
and bali
and changin’ her name
my mother got sunstroke
on the weekends she’d like to forget
went and got married and moved to the city after dodging the men who just wanted her games
and now she’s standing with her daughter
doubting the purpose of any of it

[chorus]
when she was tall enough
to stand and stick out her tongue
my mother bit down
and practiced ballet
raisin’ her brother, with another to come
studying matisse and monet

she never stopped to choose what fruit to taste
she never stopped to choose one fruit to take

[bridge]
runnin’ back to the roots of her ruins
of the woman she’s grown up to be
counting the battles she keeps swearing she’s losing
by not choosing before she had me
and now she’s watchin’ me doin’ the same thing
crawlin’ out from under that tree

[chorus]
and now i’m tall enough
to stand and stick out my tongue
her daughter bit down
and practiced ballet
raising my brothers
and others will come
studying matisse and monet
i’ll never stop to choose what fruit to taste
never stop to choose one fruit to take
