Isolation

Growing undisturbed
Whispering softly but stumbling over words
This uncertainty gives me comfort while I lay here
Stuck fighting off the urge
But understanding that things could be worse
And you keep telling me to watch out
Before I get hurt

Waiting for the sun to make a constant quench of thirst
And soon enough becomes immersed
Drying up and leaving dirt
I would never say I'm going home to get away
But there are memories that are etched into my head

(Falling flat)
Trying to lead you away
(Talking back)
Don't listen to what they say
(Hoping that)
Hollowed out trees line the halls
(You'd relax)
Quietly obscuring the walls

Slanted toward the choice of isolation
Hoping that she'll one day grab the patience
Every time you walk the streets unaware
Taken by the fact that I just stand there
And I don't care
I said I'd meet you in the treetops
But I got caught up in the roots
It seems that dirt and twigs have replaced dreams of
Greener leaves and fruits

Growing undisturbed
Whispering softly about nothing
