Fig Tree - Intellectual

[Intro]

Another day gone underneath my fig tree

Grey as everyone's dreams

As thin as the leaves around me

As I'm left to see my fruit dropping

Dead on the ground by my feet

Almost nothing left to eat, holding onto belief

Another life must be somewhere up in the leaves

The best path must be the one I can't see

If I'm left to be, I'll stay here

Just watching everything I could be

Die in front of mе and I don't want to see, no

[Refrain]

[Verse 1]

Gold like Versace, I lovе it when he slaps me

If I fall, catch me, but they never catch me

That's me, in the backseat, looking nasty

Looking plastic when they pass me

You know I like you, drive to the drive-through

Drinks with the ice cubes, said you think that I'm cute

And then when it's time to, I'll leave you where I find you

It's hard to decline you when I'm too high to

And it's okay if you can't reply to me

I'm too weak, I'm too shy to speak

Say I'm fine, but I cried for weeks

Say you like me, what's on your mind but me?

There's a big hole right inside of me

But I feel whole each time you write to me

I'm scared, but scared feels right to me

Why do I want him when he's not right for me?

[Refrain]

⠀

[Chorus]

I try to live as if I want to live

I try to block it out, it still comes pouring in

I'm changing, I'm changing

I try to live as if I want to live

I try to block it out, it still comes pouring in

I'm changing, I'm changing

[Bridge]

Don't die now, you need to leave the house (House)

Don't fall asleep now, the sun is almost out (Out)

So when is it my turn? (Oh-oh)

It's not safe to thrive, it's too late to hide

And I'm, I'm yet to see the worst

So tell me, when is my turn? (Oh)

[Refrain]

(Tell me)

(Tell me you love me)

[Verse 2]

Sometimes when I talk to my friends

I feel more alone and that doesn't make sense

Sometimes I'd be lying if I said that

I don't think I'd be better off dead

If I died, would I make a headline?

If I died, would anybody be surprised?

If I died, would they love me online?

Who'd I be remembered by?

Who'd forget me in time?

Side eyes, toss my hair to the side

I'm fine, everybody's going to die

That's fine, I'm with you in another life

That's nice, we met before we died

Side eyes, toss my hair to the side

I'm fine, everybody's going to die

That's fine, I'm with you in another life

That's nice, we met before we—

⠀

[Chorus]

I try to live as if I want to live

I try to block it out, it still comes pouring in

I'm changing, I'm changing

I try to live as if I want to live

I try to block it out, it still comes pouring in

I'm changing, I'm changing

[Outro]

Tell me you love me
