The Crane Wives
Strangler Fig
You built your kingdom around me
Now I'm trapped within your walls
And all I want is to be free
For as winsome as you may be
All you're doing now is losing me
Climb me, climb me to the canopy
Higher, higher 'til there's nothing left of me
Tell me, tell me what you see
Desire, desire 'til there's nothing left of me
Oh, oh
You're the culprit, so don't blame me
When I'm gone and you have not
When you're hollowed out and empty
From your pulpit what will you preach?
How to live a good long life that's full of suffering
Climb me, climb me to the canopy
(Climb me, climb me to the canopy)
Higher, higher 'til there's nothing left of me
(Higher, higher 'til there's nothing left of me)
Tell me, tell me what you see
(Tell me, tell me what you see)
Desire, desire 'til there's nothing left of me
Oh, oh
I gave you everything I had
And now I want it back
Oh, I gave you everything I had
Now I, now I want it back!
Climb me, climb me to the canopy
(Climb me, climb me to the canopy)
Higher, higher 'til there's nothing left of me
(Higher, higher 'til there's nothing left of me)
Tell me, tell me what you see
(Tell me, tell me what you see)
Desire, desire 'til there's nothing left of me
Climb me, climb me to the canopy
Higher, higher 'til there's nothing left of me
Tell me, tell me what you see
Desire, desire 'til there's nothing left of me
Oh, oh
