Up Inside the Trees

UP INSIDE THE TREES I sit and sit all day, thinking of a way A way to just get through each and every day I think of all the ways, the ways I could take it all away Its funny how life works, euphoria one day and the next a flop Like a roller coaster going down the drop, stomach in a knot, than comes the plot Down for the count and fading quick, holding on to all I can grasp Gun in your hand, finger on the trigger, just make it fast Drowning in a pool of fire with nothing but a life raft Lowest point and no light to be seen Feeling like a sight just waiting to be unseen But what goes down must come up Sometimes you just got to take a gut punch Escape is all that is left for me Just run away and set me free To a place that’s all too familiar, up inside the trees
