Forest for the Trees Lyrics by Friend Operation

0

A new day, irate
Clock in another waste of my time
It can't be bought
And give me life I crave it
Camping nights in basements
Tires on the pavement
Tell me. What is this life for?
Cancel all fluorescence now
(Don’t you stay)
What’s forcing you to stay?
(Don’t you stay)
To push it all away?
(Don’t you stay)
What’s forcing you to stay?
(Don’t you stay)
Well I don’t know
I have to stand embrace the season
Your axe it holds the truth
Be firm and follow through to cut me down
And watch me topple over
(ill cut you down, if i must)
Waste of time
(your shade so wide, it’s infectious)
It’s short your sight
(There’s nothing you could say)
You’re blind if you can’t see
The forest for the trees
(It's not your fault)
It’s not your fault
Now watch me topple over
Take your time
The best laid plans, tend to go awry
Stoop, grip so low
“Goodbye” meet “hello”
(Don’t you stay)
What’s forcing you to stay?
(Don’t you stay)
To push it all away?
(Don’t you stay)
What’s forcing you to stay?
(Don’t you stay)
I have to stand embrace the season
Your axe it holds the truth
Be firm and follow through to cut me down
And watch me topple over
(ill cut you down, if i must)
Waste of time
(your shade so wide, it’s infectious)
It’s short your sight
(There’s nothing you could say)
You’re blind if you can’t see
The forest for the trees
It’s not your fault
Now watch me topple over
