The Old Dead Tree
Dive
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!
