I listen to the trees whisper,
they're so awful at detecting
pain and how it all differs
I just want some disconnecting
I'm not going anywhere
I'm not ever gonna leave
I admit now that I'm sinking
What was I thinking?
They're not making any sense,
letting go of all their loved ones
they say it's all in defense
I can't help them anymore
Where are they going from now?
They're living to be cut down,
they're all forced to relent
In a world they don't resent
Where is mother nature now,
Why is this what she allows?
Killing off her many children
it's a shame
They have no one to be there,
Nobody who truly cares
They don't have a friend, an ear
they don't have
anything
Quietly, I seize a rope
Knot it for all of my hatred
Apologizing for the scope,
I've given in to all their patience
I'm so sorry for the dreaming,
I never should have filled your heads
I take blame for all their screaming
I should have told the truth instead
I still visit all the graves
I still nod and some still wave
But I never feel like leaving
What was I thinking?
What was I thinking?
