Whakanewha

Another forest metaphor

You've heard a million before

The trees know everything, I tried a wedding ring

But you just cringed and said, "What for?"

And now the whole thing's turned to ash

You try to cover it with cash

Another falling tree no one can hear but me

Another suicidal mass

Landing on my doorstep, thanks a ton

Oh, darling, how can I repay you for what you have done?

And then you lied to me at Whakanewha

And you sealed it with a kiss

I wanted to live with you, but, fuckin'-a, fuck you

No one on Earth could live like this

Another clear-cut load of crap

A few more corpses in the sack

You'll get away with it, it's just the same old script

This world is shaped to have your back

You said, "I'm sorry," then you ran

And went and did it all again

I'm such a fool, I know

Street smart but gullible

I see the good in everything

A pound of flax, a pound of steel

I may be dumb, but I can feel

I wonder when you'll realize what you had

A frightened bird, a crystal ball

So sad, you could've had it all

But you hate yourself too much to want all that

I had so much hope for your broken heart

But you've made your choice, and you chose the dark

And so I'll bury you at Whakanewha

And have a party with my friends

I'll miss you terribly, but, fuckin'-a, fuck me

It feels so good to love again

And so I'll bury you at Whakanewha

And have a party with my friends

I'll miss you terribly, but, fuckin'-a, fuck me

It feels so good to love again
