Apple Tree - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

All of my life I've been hunting

I've been a girl, I've been a boy

Digging my feet into the ground like an apple tree

Wanting to live with a purpose

Skin is a word, love is not a sin

People are bad, people are good

Just like the moon is a stone

But it's a star when it's dark and now she's hiding

If you've seen what a heart is, you've seen its color

If I ever knew how we could guide it

I would take care of its children, become their mother

If I ever knew how we could hide it, hide it (Ah-ah)

Let her save the world, she is just a girl

Let him save them all, he is just a boy

Let her save the world, she is just a girl

Let him save them all, he is just a boy

Hunger is quiet if you do it right

Hunter is loud and predictable, scaring away every prey

So they're gone before the hunter arrives

Would you be kind and put away your sword?

You cannot cut away what we've got

You cannot kill what we are

We are not here in physical form

You've seen where the knife is, its dark location

If I ever knew how we could guide it

I will cut into our anger, make pure emotion

If I ever knew how we could hide it, hide it (Ah-ah)

Let her save the world, she is just a girl

Let him save them all, he is just a boy

Let her save the world, she is just a girl

Let him save them all, he is just a boy

Ah, ah

Oh, oh

Ah, ah

Can you carry the weight of mortality? (Oh, oh)

The explosions around you is your symphony

(Ah, ah) Let her save the world, she is just a girl

(Oh, oh) Let him save them all, he is just a boy

(Ah, ah) Let her save the world, she is just a girl

(Oh, oh) Let him save them all, he is just a boy
