Dead Trees

from What We Leave Behind by Great Lakes

lyrics

LYRICS:

I am constantly surrounded
By people who never inspire me,
I am constantly struggling
To keep my head above this negativity.

All that I have,
And all that I am,
Has nothing in common with the common man.

I will continue to live on my own terms,
Even if I’m forced to walk alone.

All of these people,
Who claim they’re my friend,
Keep dragging me down until the bitter end.

Hollow bodies and hollow minds,
Wandering aimlessly through this life.

I will never return to the man I used to be,
When I find myself, I pray that she stands there with me.
I know that it’s right but still I pray that I never grow weary
From the touch of your skin and the taste of your lips.

Mindless drones doing all that they’re told,
A promise of freedom that will never uphold.

This isn’t all of me.

I will not be the one to cower,
In a world where dead trees tower.

I refuse to live this lie.
I refuse to lay down and die.

I will continue to grow,
I still have life inside of me.
I will continue to live,
Even if I’m forced to walk alone.

I will continue to live on my own terms.
