just something abt generational trauma ig lyrics i probably didnt follow I know you’re supposed to say I love you and mean it I know you said I love you and tried to mean it But in the end we both know Its hard to love so you just gotta fake it Cause I know life isn’t perfect Somewhere along the way the apple rotted and the acorn grew So you took the maggots and told the acorn “I don’t wanna end up like you” But maggots don’t make trees They don’t dance in the breeze, see Maggots rot. People don’t like to get close And I guess that’s the story of my life I wish that I didn’t come from maggots and mold Because maybe you take acorns more seriously Cause maggots are afraid to be bold So they sprout their wings and leave the tree And inside they’re still empty But their maggots will stay the same Till there’s no real source to blame ‘Cause Somewhere along the way the apple rotted and the acorn grew So you took the maggots and told the acorn “I don’t wanna end up like you” But maggots don’t make trees They don’t dance in the breeze, see Maggots rot. People don’t like to get close And I guess that’s the story of my life When are we gonna talk about How much you lied How I would twist my words Just for you to be proud You know I can’t say it out loud But I don’t think it’s healthy To have this kind of attachment ‘Cause Somewhere along the way the apple rotted and the acorn grew So you took the maggots and told the acorn “I don’t wanna end up like you” And I guess it was a nice try But maggots become flies And nobody really likes bugs in their garden But the bugs’ll try and bargain But it’s no use Cause a maggot’s not an acorn anyway.
