Black Walnut Tree
Up in the morning, I can't close my eyes
There's no sun in my window but still, it's too bright
Pull the sheets over my head but I still can't hide
So I beg to the shade: smother all light inside
I'll never be free, living life in the shade of my black walnut tree
Though I try to stay patient and burn through the day
Feel my stomach grow lighter, hands and knees start to quake
Nod off at dinner, live my life half-awake
Never quite knew what soul was, guess I've got none to break
I'll be damned if I think that I'll ever be free
Passing slow in the shade of my black walnut tree
There's no sun in my window but still, it's too bright
Pull the sheets over my head but I still can't hide
So I beg to the shade: smother all light inside
I'll never be free, living life in the shade of my black walnut tree
Though I try to stay patient and burn through the day
Feel my stomach grow lighter, hands and knees start to quake
Nod off at dinner, live my life half-awake
Never quite knew what soul was, guess I've got none to break
I'll be damned if I think that I'll ever be free
Passing slow in the shade of my black walnut tree
