Someone Else's Trees

(album: BREACH - 2020)

We say alright
You need an ok
All the same
You don't belong with them
And still you stay

If I could say
When you were small
That you would grow to be so bold
Don't pray
Turn away

I flew in over clouds that couldn't catch me if I fell
And I told them I would call but there isn't much to tell
'Cause I'm always scared of leaving and then when I arrive
I'm distracted by existences now parallel to mine

I'm not afraid to die more so to be alive
I know in this and more I'm not alone
And I never heard you scream before the night I couldn't breathe
You tell me now you thought that I was gone
You thought that I was gone
You thought that I was gone
I was five and I was gone

She's sitting down beside me
I'm turning down my page
But it's silently decided that I'll stay
I'm hers until the sun comes up on someone else's trees
When I'm clean I'll move along

I'm not afraid to die more so to be alive
I know in this and more I'm not alone
And I never heard you scream before the night I couldn't breathe
You tell me now you thought that I was gone
You thought that I was gone
You thought that I was gone
Sometimes I wish I'd gone

Please don't be long
Don't let this go on and on
Please don't stay in me

Please don't be long
Don't let this go on and on
