Dive - The Old Dead Tree

Of course they’re anxious to help you

But you don’t know what to say to them

Your parents come to your home

They look for a way to save you from yourself…

But they feel as distraught as you are

You were so strong you’re now so far

So far from who you were!

You’re no longer the man they knew

Something‘s broken inside of you

No one seems to realise

How low you’ve dived

They all think that you’re still far from

Hitting the bottom

When they look at you they just see

An empty shadow of the man you used to be

And you can feel how disappointed they are

Each one of their looks becomes a new scar

And you dive, dive into the fields

Trying to escape from this unbearable pain;

Yes you dive, the water fills your lungs

The mud blinds your eyes

But here you can rest and try to forget

All this pain that you feel

Is so old that you think

It’s a part of you

So deep in the flesh sleeps the pain

So much frustration, in your brain

Nobody seems to understand

That their love kills you

Please open your mouth and spit out the truth

Let it be!
