[Intro: Atmospheric, Lofi] Cool yogurt tastes smooth, before the hard questions [Verse 1: Intimate] Creamed yogurt tastes fine before the hard questions Pull the spiced sweet meat, split quarter fractions Watch the city bikes spin, their quick shifting function Tall grass bends low, beats back squawking sick mice on the run [Pre-Chorus: Calm] A ten-meter tree never forgets its roots You’re just one sixth of the world, but you lost your boots Your foot falls on mine, absurd but it’s true If you don’t feel the ache, I know I don’t feel it too [Chorus: Anthemic] A ten-meter tree never forgets its roots All the things we hold close outlast the fruit We walk on broken ground, half-shadowed half-shining Every beat of our feet keeps the old map aligning [Verse 2: Intimate] Gleaming backyards glow quiet before the old questions Steer the grilled charred meat, split quarter fractions I brought you wild bees that hum the core functions Clear glass lenses catch fake songs, beat still silent mosquitoes down [Pre-Chorus: Steady] A ten-meter tree never forgets its roots A ten-year-old rifle never forgets how to shoot If the frost keeps on coming, smashing every last book It gets harder and harder to stand in your worn-out boots [Chorus: Anthemic, Expansive] A ten-meter tree never forgets its roots All the things we hold close outlast the fruit We walk on broken ground, half-shadowed half-shining Every beat of our feet keeps the old map aligning [Bridge: Reflective] We split the world in fractions to hold what we can We chase the quick functions, forget where we stand The tree grows tall ‘cause the roots drink deep The gun keeps true ‘cause it keeps the keep All the noise we outran, all the mice we beat We’re still standing here on the same old street [Chorus: Anthemic, Climactic] A ten-meter tree never forgets its roots All the things we hold close outlast the fruit We walk on broken ground, half-shadowed half-shining Every beat of our feet keeps the old map aligning [Outro: Fading] A ten-meter tree never forgets its roots [Fade out]
