Caesalpinia echinata is a species of Brazilian timber tree in the pea family, Fabaceae. Common names include Brazilwood, Pau-Brasil, Pau de Pernambuco, Nicaragua wood and Ibirapitanga (Tupi). This plant has a dense, orange-red heartwood that takes a high shine, and it is the premier wood used for making bows for stringed instruments. The wood also yields a red dye called brazilin, which oxidizes to brazilein.
When Portuguese explorers found these trees on the coast of South America, they used the name pau-brasil to describe them. Pau is Portuguese for "stick" (or, by metonymy, "wood" in general), and brasil is said to have come from brasa, Portuguese for "ember", meaning "emberlike". The wood of this tree has a deep red hue, which may be why it received this name. Pau-brasil had been earlier used to describe a different species of tree found in Asia and other places, called Sappanwood which also produced red dye; but the South American trees soon became the better source of red dye. Brazilwood trees were such a large part of the exports and economy of the land that the country which sprang up in that part of the world took its name from them and is now called Brazil.
Why don
Until you sink into me and suck out of me
All of my beautiful lyrics
Then all that
Until you come back to visit the impossibility
Of maybe wanting to hear this
And I still wear you around my wrist
You make my skin hurt
I want to feel like I am missed
But that
I want to tell you that I'm fine
So I'm fine
But I'm lying
This is how it
For at least 4 weeks I'm sure
The battles to see who will act more mature begin
And we pretend
That we
With this being the end
And so this is how it goes
I'm and introvert and you
I still wear you around my wrist
You make my skin hurt
I want to feel like I am missed
But that
I want to tell you that I'm fine
So I'm fine
But I'm lying
Well I full of lines and a head full of songs
But it seems that my timing
Cause all of these chords, yeah, and all of these rhymes
They were written with only one vision in mind
And that vision
Was to make your entire world melt in my hands and
Put it back together with me in the middle
And if that sounds selfish I
I'm sure we can deal with it
Cause
If I could do this again
Would you help me or avoid all the drama
Please have some words to give
Cause you
I know it
Please
Let me try this again I swear it will be even better than before
You say all we need is time
