Sap Runnin'

[Verse 1]
You carved your name in the sycamore bark
Now the lichen growin' over it, reclaimin' the dark
Used to be a wound, a story I couldn't tell
Just an empty space in the forest where the old giant fell

[Chorus]
Now the sap runnin' hot in my veins
Washin' out the memory of the cold rains

[Verse 2]
The kick drum knockin' like a woodpecker's beak
On a hollowed-out trunk where the old roots run deep
A new tendril reachin' for a crack in the stone
Found a rhythm in the quiet when you left me alone

[Chorus]
Now the sap runnin' hot in my veins
Washin' out the memory of the cold rains

[Bridge]
Some trees need a fire just to open up the seed
Some hearts need to shatter just to find what they need

[Chorus]
Yeah, the sap runnin' hot in my veins
Washin' out the memory of the cold rains

[Outro]
New growth
New canopy
