Sky Between the Trees - WIMY

She's upset Bad day Heads for the dresser drawer to Drive her pain away Nothing good can come of this She opens it There's nothing there There's only left over tears Mom and dad had no right she screams The anger runs down both of her cheeks Then she closed her eyes And found relief in a knife The blood flows as she cries All alone the way she feels Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched sorrow relief Bite the lip just forget the bleeding Then she closed her eyes And found relief in a knife The blood flows as she cries Then she closed her eyes And found relief in a knife The blood flows as she cries Curled up she's on the floor Relief left her she had Hoped for something more from it Hoped for something more from it And he leans down to comfort her She is weeping and he Wraps his arms around And around and around and... The deeper you cut The deeper I hurt The deeper you cut It only gets worse The deeper you cut The deeper I hurt The deeper you cut It only gets worse Gets worse She's slowly opening Yeah, she's slowly opening New eyes She opened her eyes And found relief in his life And put down her knives She opened her life And found relief through his eyes And put down She put down Her life

I took an air rifle Shot a magpie to the ground And it died without a sound Your skin's so pale Against the fallen autumn leaves No-one saw us but the trees Yeah, the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving I carved your name With a heart just up above Now swollen, distorted Unrecognisable, like our love You smell of leaf mould And the sweetness of decay Or the incense at the funeral procession here today And the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving Ah Try to shape the world to what you want the world to be Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me Oh, no, I might as well I might as well go tell it to the trees, yeah Oh yeah, the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving Go and tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah

Climbing trees, like we did when we were children Scaling walls, the walls that took us years to build Climbing trees, haven't much since we were children Shaking limbs tend to end up bent and broken Safe inside the walls we built, we found ourselves a home Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Higher branches, harder fall Hesitation stops us all Girl, you've never loved Climbing trees, haven't much since we were children Shaking limbs tend to end up bent and broken But heartache pales in comparison to love

There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples And they're quite convinced they're right They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the maples scream "Oppression" And the oaks just shake their heads So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights "The oaks are just too greedy We will make them give us light" Now there's no more oak oppression For they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe, and saw

To live between a rock And a hard place In between time -- Cruising in prime time -- Soaking up the cathode rays To live between the wars In our time -- Living in real time -- Holding the good time -- Holding on to yesterdays... You know how that rabbit feels Going under your speeding wheels Bright images flashing by Like windshields towards a fly Frozen in the fatal climb -- But the wheels of time -- Just pass you by... Wheels can take you around Wheels can cut you down We can go from boom to bust From dreams to a bowl of dust We can fall from rockets' red glare Down to "Brother can you spare --" Another war -- another waste land -- And another lost generation... It slips between your hands Like water This living in real time A dizzying lifetime Reeling by on celluloid Struck between the eyes By the big-time world Walking uneasy streets -- Hiding beneath the sheets -- Got to try and fill the void... You know how that rabbit feels Going under your speeding wheels Bright images flashing by Like windshields towards a fly Frozen in the fatal climb -- But the wheels of time -- Just pass you by... We can go from boom to bust From dreams to a bowl of dust We can fall from rockets' red glare Down to "Brother can you spare --" Another war -- another waste land -- And another lost generation... Wheels can take you around Wheels can cut you down Fall from rockets' red glare Down to "Brother can you spare --" Another war -- another waste land -- Another lost generation...
