lyrics

I’ve been reading all about this place
That some people call the sea of trees
A place so quiet you’re left examining
What choices took you down this path
And if it’s not too late for you to change your mind and turn back

I’ve been dreaming all about that place
The sea of trees appears so vividly
I hear a voice it softly calls to me
Pulling me towards my death
Convincing me that I should finally just give in

I’ve been questioning what all this means
And if I’m really this unhappy
Could I do this to my family
And all the people I care for?
What would they think If I were not to exist anymore?

It may be
That I need
Time to become
Socially
Adjusted
To the way of the world

Is it so bad to be wondering
If I were to die would it mean anything?
I think that you could agree with me
If I somehow showed you how much better off
I’d be without this hole in my chest

Now you might think that I’m
Exaggerating
But most people will never see
How much I’m actually struggling
On the surface it seems I might be ok
But I’m hiding thoughts no person should think
Looking for ways to put it to an end
Do you really want me to live like this?
Constantly questioning my existence

I just keep thinking about those dreams
An easy way for me to escape to the sea of trees
It’s pretty clear I need to make a change
My subconscious is telling me
that I should deal with these repressed emotions

Take me to the sea of trees and let me drown amongst the leaves
I don’t care what other people say
I’m just looking for a way to rid myself of all this pain
