Thread: Twisted Dying Trees

Twisted Dying Trees

If our eyes are broken
Every sight hurts worse than the last
We can't pretend
That we weren't influenced by the past

Try to shake your soul
Let it dry out in the sun
And remember what it was
To not feel like the only one

Remember the twisted dying trees
And the leaves that were so decrepit they'd break into a million pieces
Nothing ever seemed so bad
Even with this cruel, cruel world
A smile is what you always had

If our skin is weakened
Every touch cuts us closer to the heart
We can't make all the excuses
Before we even start

Don't pray, what is the use?
All those rules are never fun
And remember what it was
To no feel like the only one

Feel the vicious sheets of rain
And think back to the lightning that could never cause you any kind of pain
Hiding under blankets
Even during brutal storms
You would always make it

Out alive
To grow old
And become so goddamn cynical
Your blood probably runs cold
Then we die
And people cry
Cause they see that soon they're time will come
And they never really lived once they grew up

If our eyes are broken
Could we ever really see?

Love it. I've tried to write this sort of thing before, but you've done so far more eloquently than I've ever managed *jealous*. One type "to no feel like the only one" presuming that is meant to be a 'not'. I can see this having a really great climax at the end.

when a typo's the only complaint, I know I've done a good job. Thanks! And yeah, I used to post here a couple years ago and always got great advice so I figured now that my lyrics evolved, why not post again. Also, the climax is near the end and the genre is like acoustic/folk/indie/rock kinda like the song The Boat by Chuck Ragan. That song is the most metal acoustic I have ever heard. So this song should be recorded and in circulation within the next couple months.
