lyrics

So small, so small,
so small, so small
So small, so small,
so small, so small

You clipped my roots
to keep me small
Clipped my branches
so I'd never grow tall
The black owl hoots,
she saw it all (de su saguaro)
From the shame,
my face blanches
(ni sangre ni lágrima)

I'm your bonsai tree no more
Hot and wild to my core
Listen to my nasty roar
This is my forest
This is my forest
This is my forest
This is my forest


Mi selva, Mi selva
Mi selva, Mi selva
Mi selva, Mi selva
Mi selva, Mi selva
Mi selva, Mi selva

You clipped my roots
what fucking gall
Clipped my branches
your cruel overhaul
The barred owl hoots,
she saw it all
I've no shame,
for enthralling you

I'm your bonsai tree no more
I'm your bonsai tree no more
Hot and wild to my core
Listen to my nasty roar
Roar, roar, roar, roar
This is my forest
This is my forest
This is my forest
This is my forest
This is my forest
This is my forest
This is my forest
This is my forest

And I'm furious
here in my cave
