Rise From The Dead

I dance until the sun comes up and then I close my eyes

For fear that when I can see I'll want to run and hide

It's a shame we're all walking fast, talking underneath the trees

Without even understanding they're helping us to breathe

I read the same newspaper at the same time each day

The stories never change but I read them anyways

It's a shame we're all waiting, debating underneath the trees

Without even understanding they're helping us to breathe

And the kids in the parks use tree stumps as leverage into the air

And they jump on their beds when they get home and the world isn't fair

And they fall, they fall

And they fall, and never get up

But they can rise from the dead

They can rise from the dead

They can rise from the dead

And I can rise from the dead

You can rise from the dead

We can rise from the dead

Rise, rise

I grow my roots into concrete just before it dries

When I forget how to listen to anything but lies

It's a shame we're all stagnant, broken fragments, underneath the trees

Without even understanding they're helping us to breathe
