Make Like a Tree (And Leave)
Your track mark arms and dead sunken eyes
You promised me you would just stay home tonight
But when those headlights came crashing through
I knew that there's no way I'm leaving without a fight
Spent all this time
Abusing yourself to leave your body behind
And when the world starts burning
You turn to the needle for a lifeline
You took her advice
You kept that demon at bay for a while
Compulsion melted with the snow
But then your fall came
Shorter days make longer nights
And he's finding work for both your idle hands
Spent all this time
Abusing yourself to leave your body behind
And when the world starts burning
You turn to the needle for a lifeline
Breathe
Just breathe
You've shouldered this weight for far too long
And you shouldn't have to
Leave
Just leave
You're caught in the eye of the storm
And I stayed out
Until the morning light
Just to bring you your bag
And to say my last goodbye
Turned back on the ride home
Left nothing that you would regret
Spending every dime that you had
Just to get to where you can forget
Turned back on the ride home
Left nothing that you would regret
Spending every dime that you had
Just to get to where you can forget
Turned back on the ride home
Left nothing that you would regret
Spending every dime that you had
Just to get to where you can forget
You promised me you would just stay home tonight
But when those headlights came crashing through
I knew that there's no way I'm leaving without a fight
Spent all this time
Abusing yourself to leave your body behind
And when the world starts burning
You turn to the needle for a lifeline
You took her advice
You kept that demon at bay for a while
Compulsion melted with the snow
But then your fall came
Shorter days make longer nights
And he's finding work for both your idle hands
Spent all this time
Abusing yourself to leave your body behind
And when the world starts burning
You turn to the needle for a lifeline
Breathe
Just breathe
You've shouldered this weight for far too long
And you shouldn't have to
Leave
Just leave
You're caught in the eye of the storm
And I stayed out
Until the morning light
Just to bring you your bag
And to say my last goodbye
Turned back on the ride home
Left nothing that you would regret
Spending every dime that you had
Just to get to where you can forget
Turned back on the ride home
Left nothing that you would regret
Spending every dime that you had
Just to get to where you can forget
Turned back on the ride home
Left nothing that you would regret
Spending every dime that you had
Just to get to where you can forget
