Forest for the Trees

A new day, irate

Clock in another waste of my time

It can't be bought

And give me life I crave it

Camping nights in basements

Tires on the pavement

Tell me. What is this life for?

Cancel all fluorescence now

(Don’t you stay)

What’s forcing you to stay?

(Don’t you stay)

To push it all away?

(Don’t you stay)

What’s forcing you to stay?

(Don’t you stay)

Well I don’t know

I have to stand embrace the season

Your axe it holds the truth

Be firm and follow through to cut me down

And watch me topple over

(ill cut you down, if i must)

Waste of time

(your shade so wide, it’s infectious)

It’s short your sight

(There’s nothing you could say)

You’re blind if you can’t see

The forest for the trees

(It's not your fault)

It’s not your fault

Now watch me topple over

Take your time

The best laid plans, tend to go awry

Stoop, grip so low

“Goodbye” meet “hello”

(Don’t you stay)

What’s forcing you to stay?

(Don’t you stay)

To push it all away?

(Don’t you stay)

What’s forcing you to stay?

(Don’t you stay)

I have to stand embrace the season

Your axe it holds the truth

Be firm and follow through to cut me down

And watch me topple over

(ill cut you down, if i must)

Waste of time

(your shade so wide, it’s infectious)

It’s short your sight

(There’s nothing you could say)

You’re blind if you can’t see

The forest for the trees

It’s not your fault

Now watch me topple over
