Voice In My Head

I led my pony right down to the lake
I wasn't expecting her to dive in the bay
And I guess the water was fine
Went to a show of a daring display
Tightrope walking over tigers up to heaven's gate
He dove off the line

We say please
Under your leaves
Beg and plead
End the disease
Oh miraculous one
Oh omniscient one

I know your roots
Feel the shift in the tectonics
It's making me nauseous
Making me nauseous
Making me nauseous

Cutting ties that weigh me down will make me fly around and around
Dormant
Power here not present there no matter how much
time I share
Dormant
Follow me through hollow feats
I'll lead you to the ancient tree
Dormant
Not for long we'll sing the song then reach the destination sought

These branches are too thin
What is the meaning of this
Let me go
Oh no
I tell you that the roots are too deep now for the branch to remove
So

But I don't want you to leave
I've been hoping for the forest, and the trees, and the leaves to give me an answer
Honestly I still don't know what to say to you
To you
When I look at this world, I see beauty when there's no one on its surface that is hurting
And blocking it's features
But exceptions are made
And to tell you the truth
It's you

I don't want to watch you drown because I need you turning back
And I don't want to watch you splatter on the ground I cannot catch you

Selfish is what I'll be
If it saves you
I know it from the tree
Sentimental
We root into the lives of our loved ones
And I must feel for me
Sentimental

I led my pony right down to the lake
I wasn't expecting her to dive in the bay
And I guess the water was fine
