Waltzing through life on clouds of gray Singing ballads of sweet sorrow Hoping the sun will stay But it always disappears before the morrow Until all that is left are beautiful words on a page And thoughts that drift through my head To confine themselves inside of my ribcage Battering my bones until I wish I was dead And then, when I can't take the pain anymore It stops and I feel numb Left no more with a festering sore No longer thinking of everything that I should have done Every tree in my forest that never took root From the tallest red oak trees that rotted out slowly To the little green saplings all covered in soot Leaving my forest empty and lonely Frozen solid in the cold winter air The cold rips through me like a knife Cutting me open just to watch me bleed Reminding me that death is easy, what's hard is life
