Burning Tree - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

A penny for the thoughts

That jingle in your head

A quiet man that holds a raging war within

(What can I do, what have I done?)

Less than pleased

He was a hedge between his heart

And everything that tried to help him from the start

(What can I do, what have I done?)

You don't have to hold that burning tree anymore

You held on so long and now it's burning me

To hold that burning tree let it go

I'll be holding on until they bury me

I see a woman shaking on the ground

Her knees are to her chest I hear her crying out

(What did he do, what has he done?)

We tried to stop her tears still further down

She goes into her greatest fear to live this life alone

(What did you do, what have you done?)

I see the light it's up ahead and coming for me

I call your name you're on the way and looking for me

Just pull yourself together / temporary strife

Where is it now that ball and chain that dragged you down?

I see the light it's up ahead and coming for me

What can we do what have you done?

No penny for your thoughts

No jingle in your head

A quiet man no longer waging war within

(What did you do, what have you done?)

Less than pleased he was a hedge between his heart

And everyone that tried to help him from the start

(What did you do, what have you done?)

You don't have to hold that burning tree anymore

You hold on so long and now it's burning me

To hold that burning tree let it go

I'll be holding on until they bury me

Turning of a key into another world

Your body floats past my eyes

I'll never see your face again

I think I hear that jingle in your head

A penny for every time

Those coins, a mountain by my side
