[Intro: Unknown]
I got into it one afternoon at his house while he was asleep
I remember a purple velvet dress (Was she pretty?)
I don't know, I don't have a picture of it
(Did you ever ask them about it?) Nobody ever mentioned it to him
I remember my dad said something about it once but the old man ordered him right out of the house
Poor old guy

[Verse 1: Cleo's Trademark]
Is she pretty? Is she the type to just walk around in the city?
Or is she the type of person to wanna have kids, eastside in a house with nobody else with me?
It's the wonders that I ask myself late night in my loft bed with nobody ready to help me
I know that my thoughts isn't healthy, but I can see it, you want mental health peace
I don't understand why you left, I'm still tryna find me an answer
Overthinkin' isn't helpin' me either, suicide or you're in a death bed with cancer
My mind works in mysterious ways, my anxiety has trouble keepin' up with the pace
And the fact that I love you and just wanna fuckin' assume you're in a bad place
But it's no excuse to just make your way out the door
You took my heart and you crushed it and dropped the pieces as you left me on the floor
Did you even consider my individual?
Like a headshot, bam, left me in critical condition
You really had me questionin' what more that I was missin'
Your mind and mine is the perfect juxtaposition
Your attention what gets me high, coming down and I think I wanna get my knife

[Interlude: Derek Shepherd and Meredith Grey]
What do we wanna promise each other?
That you'll love me, even when you hate me
To love each other, even when we hate each other
Nobody walks out, no matter what happens
That you'll take care of me, even when we're old and smelly and senile
This is forever
[Hook: Grouper]
Oh, beautiful poison tree
Let your power grow in me
Let your sorrows sow in me
Turn me into a poison tree
Turn me into a poison tree

[Verse 2: Cleo's Trademark]
Shit, I thought I really moved on
Three Doors Down events when you're gone
Picked it the fuck up and finally turned my life around
And who-I-used-to-know-you would be so proud
Yeah, straight chillin' with the homies, checkin' my phone
Now you actin' like that you know me
Acknowledged that I said "happy fuckin' birthday" two weeks ago
My mood changed 'cause your name, I ain't speakin' of
I had to fight hard not to kill myself back then
The thought of you with someone else was stabbin' at me
I know that sounds sappy but you know better than anyone my feelings to words is tacky
So forgive me if I come off as aggressive
I'm just havin' some trouble comin' to terms and acceptin' the feelin' of your return
I hope the bridge isn't burned as I begin to type my message
At this point, I'm lettin' my heart take over, ain't no usin' my head
45 minutes ago I shoulda been in bed but for some reason I stick a needle in broken thread
Well shit, now I'm in it thirty deep, ain't no lookin' back from this point forward
I feel it creep and I recognize it's overbearing, I shove it down
Tryna get my feelings out, fuck lookin' like a clown
It's the genuine passion for a human like you
Three months ago i woulda wrote five haiku's and seventy poems Nnot knowin' she'd throw it away, it's shit like this that make me not wanna stay
As I sit there lookin' at my response hopin' that she reciprocates the feelings
I begin to go over us again in my head, hopin' her heart is worth stealin'
[Hook: Grouper]
Oh, beautiful poison tree
Let your power grow in me
Let your sorrows sow in me
Turn me into a poison tree
Turn me into a poison tree

[Outro: Cleo's Trademark]
The crazy part about all of is this is that, in the blink of an eye, a whole lifetime can pass
And by the time you've figured yourself out, you take a step back and realize it's over
