[Intro]
Never do the unexpected
Stand up straight, stick it through
Uphold the family that hurts and harms
And asks too much of you
What else could I do?

[Verse]
Bury weakness that exposes
Kill the wild with a smile
Watch as wonder decomposes
How could you when I was just a child?

Support the family
Don't stray, display, obey
You must be perfect
Oh, oh!
You suffocate the ones you love
That's not just something you forget
But I'm done with your games
I'll go my own way

[Chorus]
A hurricane of jacarandas
Strangling figs, hanging vines
My life is mine to do with as I choose
I owe nothing to you

[Bridge]
When you neglect a flower it will wilt and fade
Until all of its color has drained away
Paint its petals, the outcome's the same
You've lost the bloom you plucked and pruned
The only one to blame is you

Your prized precious flower is no more
As new shoots arise
The rose isn't there, just the thorns
And it's time to see how I shine
How I shine

[Chorus]
A hurricane of jacarandas
Strangling figs and hanging vines
My life is mine to do with as I choose
I owe nothing to you

What could you possibly expect was gonna happen
When you made me?
(You made me!) Oh!
Tend to a plant with poison and expect a flower
Are you crazy?

[Outro]
You're weak and
You're helpless
To stop me destroying you
My powers made anew...
(A child told to sacrifice
My future was a worthy price
To uphold all your sins and lies)

(What else can I do?)
And so now you'll see
What else can I do
(What else, what else, what else?) Oh!
What else can I do?
