Tall Black Trees

Moonlight comes in, filtered through smoke rings
Next Netflix episode plays
And that means that maybe you are staying over
You fell asleep smoking your cigarette
It started to burn your hair, it smelled fucking awful, but
That's the only thing that I ever want to smell

You woke up before me, found my beer cans in the shower
I would be embarrassed but I sleep in after you for hours
The morning sun comes in filtered through smoke
You cooked polenta and mushrooms
And that's the only thing I ever want to smell

And I have never felt so overwhelmed and anxious
I don't think I've ever seen myself so distant and dismissive
Like when you and I kicked off our shoes, we're standing dancing in your room
And I know that you're going through some heavy shit right now, but

I am fucking terrified
Of all the tall black trees that line
The road that takes us right behind your wild seeking olive eyes
And I don't want to wake up
I don't wanna go to work
I want to die inside your room

I don't know how many miles it will take me to escape
Out of this forest I feel growing up around me
And I don't know how many burn marks I will leave
Before this place catches on fire and I burn down my anxiety

And I am fucking terrified
Of all the tall black trees that line
The road that takes us right behind your wild seeking olive eyes
And I don't want to wake up
I don't wanna go to work
I want to die inside your room
