It’s getting hard to see
with my head up near the trees
I feel it
Now, getting harder to breathe
with the air, stifled by dreams
I wish I saw more clearly, read through the lines,
had a user manual for my life
The skies keep me company
I guess I’ll stay, up near the trees
I feel it
I don’t know if it’s too early to say
if it’s already all gone wrong
Feel like the scientist never in the books
his calculations, perpetually off
Insecure, hard to hold myself together
Like faulty tape on a cavernous crack
Me and you, we’re like birds of a feather
I say to my reflection as it stares at me back
Is it foresight or panic
It’s getting hard to see
with my head up near the trees
I feel it
Now, getting harder to breathe
with the air, stifled by dreams
I wish I saw more clearly, read through the lines,
had a user manual for my life
The skies keep me company
I guess I’ll stay, up near the trees
I feel it
No point in counting days, when days don’t start and end
Can’t tell what’s real, every word I speak
It’s an interesting game, of luck and serendipity, maybe it’ll be today
that I feel a tighter grip on things, a security, a feeling I know it all
The only thing, all that I want
The only thing, all that I need
Is it foresight or panic
It’s getting hard to see
with my head up near the trees
I feel it
Now, getting harder to breathe
with the air, stifled by dreams
I wish I saw more clearly, read through the lines,
had a user manual for my life
The skies keep me company
I guess I’ll stay, up near the trees
I feel it
now
Once it comes, it never goes away
this, the overwhelming scent of anxiety
here, and here it’ll stay
