Trees Lyrics

We vote for changes and bright promises but only those promises seem to change

We call the bluffs and we demand some truth so we’re fed with it till we choke on it

We won’t be shattered by the things we hate but in a flood of all the things we love

Do animals raised in captivity have the means to teach their offspring to be free

The leashes are not forced upon our necks but they're passed down kindly by the ones we trust

Pumped full of know-how and self-confidence but robbed of intuition and self worth

We're like beautiful trees without roots in the ground

We'll be blown apart when a storm comes around

Just beautiful trees, exposed and alone

Here comes the storm, here comes the storm

Our kids have never seen the Milky-way and would rather shop than play to pass their lives

Generic, screen-raised model citizens just buying swift entertainment with their time

They won’t be spoiled by all the things we fear but in a flood of all the things they love

We’ve planted these trees without roots in the ground

We’ve been blown apart, we know where they're bound

Just beautiful trees, swaying calmly in the breeze

They’re beautiful trees without roots in the ground

They'll be blown apart when a storm comes around

Just beautiful trees, exposed and alone

Here comes the storm

Here comes the storm

We work as our lives pass by us, lunatics run the asylum, we're all powerless and bridled, pray for rain, and watch the fires

Seems becoming an adult is nothing but a series of seemingly small compromises

Till we are unrecognizable
