[Verse 1]
Bitter garden, bitter leaf
Bitter earth, bitter seed
Nothing here is sacred, dear
All things wild
You're gone now for so long, you grown a child

[Pre-Chorus]
And when you were young
You used to plead
And when you were young
You used to plead to make me believe

[Chorus]
Nothing sacred, all things wild
Nothing sacred, all things wild

[Verse 2]
Bitter water, bitter sea
Bitter dirt, bitter tea
Everything we do is a mess
But oh, honey, may this mess be blessed

[Pre-Chorus]
And when we were young
We knew everything
And when we were young
We’d claim to sing and kick and scream
[Chorus]
All things sacred, nothing wild
All things sacred, nothing wild

[Verse 3]
Bitter blue, bitter green
Bitter you, bitter me
Sorry for poisoning you with my song
I'm sorry now, but I won't be sorry long

[Pre-Chorus]
And when you were young, dumb and mean
What did you mean when you’d scream

[Chorus]
Nothing sacred, all things wild
Nothing sacred, all things wild
