Strangler Fig by The Crane Wives Lyrics

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 till there's nothing left of me

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
Higher, higher (canopy)
'Til there's nothing left of me (Higher, higher til there's)

Tell me, tell me (Nothing left of me)
Tell me, tell me what
You see (Tell me, tell me)

Desire (What you see )
Desire till there's nothing left of me

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
Higher, higher (canopy)
'Til there's nothing left of me (Higher, higher til there's)
Tell me, tell me (Nothing left of me)
Tell me, tell me what
You see (Tell me, tell me)

Desire (What you see )
Desire till 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 till there's nothing left of me

Ohh
